Seed Platform, Inc.

Seed was founded in 2014 by two former Simple executives, Ryan Hildebrand and Brian Merritt. While at Simple, Ryan and Brian learned a lot about the challenges that banking customers face and founded Seed to solve those problems for small business owners with the mission to build the best online business bank in the world. We're very excited about the product we've built so far and are eagerly searching for more talented individuals to join the effort. Seed is a Y Combinator Alumni and its investors include General Catalyst and SV Angel.

How We Interview

We begin the interview process with an informal phone screen to introduce ourselves and our mission as well as learn more about your career goals and interests. If we find a mutual fit, we schedule a second phone screen to assess technical skills - often this includes a short coding exercise in a shared editor. The final stage of the interview is an on-site interview (in either San Francisco, CA or Portland, OR) where you will meet with four to five members of the team for a series of 45 minute interviews. Lastly, we reach the offer stage where we present our formal cash / equity offer and prepare to have a new member on our team!

• Be curious. Modernizing business banking is a complex problem. We’re excited by big challenges and you should be too.
• Care about the people we’re serving. We are here to support and encourage our clients as they build their businesses.
• Look for the big picture, and see how their work fits in. We value humility and teamwork-no rockstars here.
• Not be afraid to make mistakes and ask questions. No need to come with answers, bring the right questions and you’ll do well.
• Have Experience shipping high-quality, customer-facing products.
