1. Grit
Building a startup is hard. There will be moments of doubt, frustration, and exhaustion. We need people who push through — not blindly, but with resilience and purpose. Grit means staying committed to the mission even when progress feels slow.
2. Intellectual Honesty
We value people who can say "I don't know" or "I was wrong." Ego has no place here. We want teammates who seek truth over being right, who challenge ideas constructively, and who update their views when presented with better evidence.
3. Sharpness
Speed matters. We look for people who think quickly, communicate clearly, and execute decisively. Sharpness isn't about being the smartest — it's about being effective under pressure and making good decisions fast.
4. A Vivid Vector
We think of people as a collection of vectors — interests, passions, opinions, things they care about. The founders have different vectors: some of us care deeply about politics and world affairs, others don't. That's fine. What matters is that you have a vivid vector that aligns with at least one of our pillars. We want artisans — people with clear direction and genuine passion. Not people with no signal, no taste, no direction.
What You'll Gain
If you join Hyprnote, we want you to become a craftsman. The founders have strong taste in product and many other areas. You'll be pushed to develop your own sharp perspectives and refine your craft alongside a small team that cares deeply about what we're building.
