Stealth name: Shelby<p>Shelby is looking for awesome people to bust their ass on a new product that everyone will love… yes, I said it… everyone.<p>Who is Shelby? We’re an angel funded startup in the inaugural class of TechStars NYC. We already built one product that's generating revenue and are now starting a new one.<p>What’s in it for you? Great learning experience from guys who have been in the game for a few years, the chance to actually build something from scratch, and exposure to tons of startups, mentors, investors etc.<p>How does this work? We meet you, like your work, like you, you’re hired… but, we don’t like being bosses, so you’ll largely determine how you work. Remotely is cool, but our office is cooler.<p>And if you do fantastic work, then maybe we’ll convince you to drop out of school/stick around. Just sayin’. ;)<p>Check out the posts below and if you fit one or all of these descriptions, get in touch, tell me who you are and generally woo us.
