Samuel Hoffstaetter

I'm the cofounder and CTO of Short Story. I also invest in YC companies and try to be as supportive as I can. In college, I co-founded a startup that sold textbooks to students across 117 campuses. Before Short Story, I worked at Tower Research and Waymo.

What happens next.

No applications, no recruiter spam. Just the intro.

01

Confirm the fit

A few questions to make sure this role is the right shape for you. Two minutes.

02

I pitch you to the company

I write the intro, send it to the founder, and handle the back-and-forth.

03

A meeting lands on your calendar

If they’re a yes, I book the chat. You show up — that’s the whole job-hunt.
