Overview

Howdy! Bruce here - Chief of Staff at String. If you’re a technical storyteller who speaks the language of engineers, can move fast, and wants to creat content for some of the largest enterprises in the world, I want you to join our team.

String is building the complete layer for companies to collect and structure web data. We’ve hit 7-figure ARR, doubling this year by selling to everyone, from individual devs I meet on X to some of the most powerful financial institutions on the planet ($1T+ AUM). We’ve done it all with a lean team of < 10, with only one unannounced pre-seed round.

In July, we launched our Web Access API, which allows companies to fetch, search, crawl, map, and browse nearly any site on the internet.

In <2 months from launch, that product reached six figures ARR. We have a ~95%+ conversion rate from trial → purchase, and a ~95% retention rate.

I want to get it in front of more people and companies. I want you to help us do it.

Your Job Is Two-fold

• Create content (YT videos, blogs, ads, tweest, LI posts, etc.) that shows the value of our product to enterprises who use web data to build out their core product offering
• Meet engineers where they are (discords, subreddits, hacker news, stackoverflow) and help them solve their scraping / antibot problems while demonstrating String’s value!
  
  

What we do

Today, any business that wants to collect web data has to jump through tons of hoops:

• Build infrastructure to send thousands of requests to websites
• Build technology to avoid getting detected as a bot (very hard to do at scale)
• Code individual scripts for every website they want to scrape
• Fix all those scripts as websites change, and
