Mike,

I didn't hear from you my first inmail, which is ok because I get rejected every day. Multiple times. I'm good with it because I know how the market is and how many exciting opportunities there are for developers. i just know that engineers are constantly being pitched by recruiters.

But I believe 100% that the engineering opportunities at Main Street Hub are appealing to the right engineer - someone looking for the perfect mix of a small engineering team with a huge mission and challenge to scale an already proven model.

Our platform's 6000 clients are all local merchants and we are democratizing social and digital media, making it easier for smaller businesses to engage with their customers. Our customers and recent funding announcement are proof of the market and the power of our product. The backend product is good, but we need solid engineers to make it great.

Sure, there is beer and there are snacks, but more than that ,there are challenges and opportunities, with significant ownership of your code and huge scope to what you build.

I would love to talk to you in more detail about the opportunity - let me know if you are interested. But if you aren't interested - I'd love to know honestly how my pitch was. I look forward to talking to you!

Dear Mike,

I get rejected every day. Multiple times. I'm good with it because I know how the market is and how many exciting opportunities there are for developers.

But I keep going - and I do that because I believe 100% that the engineering opportunities at Main Street Hub are appealing to the right engineer - someone looking for the perfect mix of a small engineering team with a huge mission and challenge to scale an already proven model.

Our platform's 6000 clients and recent funding announcement are proof of the market and the power of our product. The backend product is good, but we need solid engineers to make it great.

I would love to talk to you in more detail about the opportunity - let me know if you are interested. If not, please feel free to share my account information with someone who you think may be interested!

I look forward to talking to you!
