Why NOT join us
Not willing to get hands dirty: doesnโt matter how important you were in past organizations; at Alliance weโre all builders, not managers (even though many of us were managers in past lives).
Prioritizing work/life balance: this role demands focus, hunger, and a career-defining level of commitment. You must be locked in.
Low agency: if you need someone else to set your priorities or keep you on track, you will fail.
You canโt relocate to NYC. This is non-negotiable: our founders are here, and so are we.
Why join us
Work with the most ambitious founders in crypto (and AI). Learn firsthand from hundreds of startups succeeding โ or failing.
Join a small, high-trust, high-performance team with outsized impact. Weโre ex-Meta, WhatsApp, Coinbase, YC, and have collectively founded multiple venture-backed startups.
Weโre backed by S-tier investors including Initialized Capital, Founders Fund, Multicoin, and Dragonfly, along with angels such as Balaji Srinivasan (ex-Coinbase CTO), Kevin Weil (CPO at OpenAI), Kevin Lin (Twitch co-founder), and Jeremy Allaire (Circle CEO), among many others.
Career accelerator: this role sets you up, experience- and network-wise, for any high-impact path in crypto/AI โ at startups, venture firms, or your own company.
Alliance startups are reinventing industries โ from media to payments โ and improving the lives of everyday people. Youโll have a front-row seat as they change the world.
