Who is behind Flow
Founder · builds Flow himself
Since 2015 I have worked on how people get selected, and who gets left out.
I started Flow as a community that shared opportunities and how people got in. It is now more than 10,000 people. As a headhunter, I then sat on the selector’s side, screening thousands of candidates for startups backed by Y Combinator, Techstars and Accel.
Flow is that judgement in software, for everyone who will never get a recruiter’s call.
From a client
He consulted Playment for our hiring when we were scaling up our team by almost a person a week and helped us hire a number of very important employees.

Flow members joined Munich’s Digital Product School after finding its call on Flow.
Members also found their way, through calls on Flow, into an Outreachy internship at Mozilla, a PhD at Inria in France, Stanford’s Code in Place, HackZurich and Aalto University’s science internship.

What Flow will not do
1
A fact Flow does not have stays a gap in your draft, marked for you to fill.
2
Flow does not send anything for you. You decide, and you send.
3
If an eligibility rule rules you out, Flow says so before anything else, and never says “apply”.
4
If the organiser says no to AI, Flow does not draft for it.
5
Flow tells you what counts. The selectors decide.
And what Flow keeps: a check made without an account is deleted after 30 days. Privacy policy
Where Flow is going
Now
One application at a time, from opportunities we read and check ourselves.
Next
Every application you make, remembered. What you tell Flow once is reused each time.
Later
When AI applies and AI screens, both sides need a checked record of what a person has really done, owned by that person.
