Why we picked it If you have no warm intros, you need a pond stocked with people who actually want startup work, and Wellfound (formerly AngelList Talent) is the biggest one. You can post a role for free and reach developers who self-selected into early-stage companies, which matters more than raw volume when you are unknown. Pair it with GitHub and LinkedIn outreach rather than treating any one platform as the whole answer.

From Wellfound by Wellfound Ongoing platform
- Free job posting and a large pool of startup-minded candidates make it a sensible first move when you have no network to lean on.
- The candidates chose a startup job board, so you skip a lot of the mismatch you get spraying generic job boards.
- It handles applications and basic tracking, but you still owe every promising person a personal, specific message to stand out as an unknown founder.
