We don’t charge for job post listings, and we curate a large dataset of crypto native organizations and their metadata, including information about their projects, their funding activity from both grants and VC funding as well as their GitHub activity.\n\nWe discover and publish job opportunities that would otherwise not get seen because some smaller organizations are inherently bad at hiring. We are there to support small and large organizations equally.\n\nWe curate a large dataset of crypto native organizations, projects and jobs, making this data available to anyone to use.\n\n## A Quick Overview, in Numbers\n\nWe currently:\n\n- Track ±3000 open jobs\n- Index ±8000 organizations within crypto\n- Deliver ±150 job applications on average a day\n\nWe aim to have near-complete coverage of the entire crypto ecosystem, and we have recently ingested data for 8000+ organizations and have manually reviewed each and every one of these. As with most good things, it takes time and effort to get it just right.\n\n## Short Term Goal\n\nAfter 2 years of operation we have accumulated lots of technical debt, and require a full rewrite of our frontend code to be able to cater to our userbase delivering the best-in-class experience we have become renown for.\nAs part of this rewrite we will deliver a new search UI along with full-page content display for each job. We also will rebuild our AI pipelines to be agentic and be more accurate when it comes to our data extraction. In general, we aim to improve the quality of our data by an order of magnitute, and to do so we need to add a few integrations on the backend as well, which will improve our data quality significantly.\nOur new frontend will include educational opportunities within the space, by presenting free educational resources which are relevant to the job opportunities being displayed.\nWe intend to expand our coverage by ingesting more organizations, projects, and more jobs for for these entities. Reliably discovering quality organizations and projects is a problem at our scale, and we currently are bottlenecked from an engineering POV and need more resources to build all the integrations we envision.\n\n## What is the Objective of JobStash?\n\nThe core focus is complete coverage of the Crypto Ecosystem by aggregating data on Crypto Native Jobs, Crypto Organizations, and their Projects.\nWe present information in a complete, permanent and authoritative way by showing relevant information such as TVLs, Hacks, Audits and Raises.\n\n## Why Should I Support JobStash?\n\nOur platform is fully independent, bootstrapped, and supports open-source DeFi protocols, networks, and other off-chain infrastructures in need of staff.\nWe are a critically underfunded project.\n\nTo date we have been funded by:\n$6869.36 in direct donations from 5 GitCoin rounds combined\n±$10k in matching from GitCoin rounds in total\n$27675.47 from RetroPGF3 as 16000 OP tokens\n±$2k in revenue from job promotion services sold\n\nGrand total funding in ±2.5 years of development:\n±50k\n\nAs our platform is provided as a public good, we currently don’t require monetary contributions for listings or placement bounties. This Retro Round represents our first shot in over a year at securing funding which would allow us to build for a prolonged period of time, instead of having to operate under constant uncertainty. Having consistent funding allows to keep ourselves free, neutral and unbiased, so we may keep operating with the good of ecosystem as our primary concern.\n\n### We are Independent\n\nBeing independent and not having a pay-per-post model allows us to keep safety high by only ingesting job opportunities from organizations that are credible in the space, thus avoiding incidents caused by submissions from anons which contain malware, [as is currently happening](https://iamdeadlyz.gitbook.io/malware-research/july-2023/fake-blockchain-games-deliver-redline-stealer-and-realst-stealer-a-new-macos-infostealer-malware#realst-stealer-macos)\n\n### Our Unfair Advantage\n\nTwo and a half years of consistent engineering and focus on data quality has made it so that our platform is fully automated and ingests data from any data source in the web. We’ve create agnostic scraping infrastructure that ingests jobs for any career site, allowing us to have much broader coverage than any competitor.\n\nAs part of our data efforts, we have ingested the entirety of crypto GitHub and are able to identify developers that work or have worked for any protocol at scale.\n\n### Problems We Are Addressing\n\n- Hiring in crypto is different than hiring in web2. DPRK is a constant threat. Impostors lurk everywhere. Fake profiles, scammers, and frauds abund. We need dedicated tooling to be successful as an industry, and we are at the forefront of building this tooling as a public good. Linkedin is full of incorrect data, and CV’s are not to be trusted, as AI is now found generating CVs and cover letters.\n- Candidate due diligence at scale is hard, and hiring teams are not up to the task as they are not technical. We are building dedicated tools that help them work more efficiently while keeping the industry safe.\n- Difficulty in identifying legit and fake candidates at scale.\n\n### Solutions We Are Proposing\n\n- Data driven verification of work history by ingestion of >1TB of data from GitHub\n- Building frontends for this tooling and making it available for free in a free tier to organizations, and for free to all qualifying  candidates who use our platform. This way we can ensure the safety of job applications throughout the ecosystem.\n\n### Value\n\nOur platform aims to safely place the right people in the right job as efficiently as possible by providing the best and most up-to-date information.\nThis enables all parties to independently make safe and informed decisions throughout the job application process, ultimately contributing to the growth and success of the entire crypto ecosystem.\n\n### Team Information\n\nOur diverse, globally distributed team consists of 5 devs and a designer.\n\nOur founding team:\n@DuckDegen, a Software Engineer with 17 years of Web2 Experience building all sizes of projects from Startup to Enterprise and in various roles from Engineering to Sales, from Developer Relations to Founder.\n\n@Laurabxyz, a talentops specialist with a decade of experience in Talent Ops, SaaS account management and crypto hiring.\n\n### Past Successes\n\n- March 2025: Passed 3000 signed up users in our webapp after adding mandatory signups to apply to jobs a few months ago\n\n- January 2025: Completed our first trial for verified talent data at scale after ingesting 1TB of data from the GitHub API\n\n- September 2024: Crossed 10k subscribers on Telegram\n\n- April 2024: Official Talent Partner of EthDam\nParticipated as a Partner at EthDam, a Security and Privacy oriented 3 day hackathon in Amsterdam, NL.\n\n- March 2024: Extended coverage to ±8000 organizations\nImported thousands of new organizations into our manually curated dataset\n\n- November 2023: Launched Reviews\nLaunched verified anonymous reviews for organizations\n\n- July 2023: First Paying Customer\nGot first paying client for our Jobs dataset [vcdata.site]\n\n- June 2023: First Candidate Placement\nPlaced first candidate in June 2023 at Reserve Protocol, in a fully organic way\n\n- May 2023: Launch of MVP WebApp\n[https://jobstash.xyz](https://jobstash.xyz)\n\n- April 2023: GitCoin Quadratic Funding\nWe participated in the GitCoin Beta Ecosystem&Education round and got ±1k USD in contributions+matching.\n\n- March 2023: Launch of POC Telegram Channels\nLaunch of POC telegram channels [https://t.me/jobstash](https://t.me/jobstash) in March 2023\n\n## Use of Funds\n\nThe founding team doesnt currently pay itself a salary, and we only pay our employees. We currently employ 2 engineers fulltime plus two freelancers on a 0 hour basis.\nFunds received will cover infrastructure bills and support our engineers in working full-time without external influences. Our costs include GitHub, OpenAI, Google, hosting, and various software vendor licenses. We aim to compensate our contributors fairly, considering living costs in their regions across Europe, Southeast Asia, and Africa.\n", "logoImgData": {}, "bannerImgData": {}, "projectGithub": "jobstash", "projectTwitter": "jobstash_xyz"}
