We've seen hiring break from both sides.

I'm from a family of serial immigrants. My son is the 3rd successive generation of the family to be born on a different continent to his father. A singular anecdote to help you understand me: when I was 8 I memorized the periodic table and performed it set to music for my entire school.

I started a career in recruitment immediately after my double major in Physics and Philosophy. I loved science but I love selling more, and recruitment is the hardest form of sales because your product has an opinion. I recruited hundreds of engineers for startups, including hiring engineer #1 at Brex.

I learned to code, thinking it would make me a 10x recruiter (I was wrong), then pivoted into Product Management at Omnipresent ($120M Series B, lost to, and eventually acquired by, Deel). I built the MVP of Superposition, and used it to recruit Li. I am motivated to build a recruiter that is not just better than me, but is better than the summation of all recruiters in history.

I've been building startups since college. Most notably on the founding team of Vitable Health (YC S20), where we took the company from pre-seed to Series A, past $10M ARR, and hundreds of thousands of patients.

In an early stage startup, 'engineering' turns into 'whatever it takes'. I got my first real taste of how broken technical hiring is from the inside, sifting through noisy inbound, rejecting great people because the process couldn't handle nuance, and watching recruiters spam candidates who'd never thrive in our environment.

I believe repetitive intellectual work should be automated. When Edmund reached out with an eerily on-point message written by an agent, it stopped feeling like a pitch and started feeling inevitable. Superposition is my bet that we can delete bullshit jobs in hiring and maximize meaningful work for more people.
