Why You Need This
Show Communication Skills
Technical skills matter, but so does the ability to explain ideas clearly. A video demonstrates both in 60 seconds.
Convey Genuine Enthusiasm
Passion is hard to fake on video. Let your genuine excitement about technology and startups come through.
Skip the Phone Screen
Founders often skip initial screening calls for candidates with compelling videos. You've already introduced yourself.
