Job Opportunity: Read the Leaves with RapLeaf
Two nights ago, Auren Hoffman pinged me to see if there was anyone I knew who might be interested in working with him. I’ve got a few people I’m telling directly, but I thought I would share this opportunity with all of you as well.
If you don’t know Auren, you should. He’s a very successful entrepreneur that truly gets the value of human relationships. That sounds silly, but I can honestly say I’ve met too many people who pretend to know what that means.
Also if you don’t know, Auren recently started an interesting new system called RapLeaf. The simplest way to describe it, Auren forgive me if I mischaracterize it, is the EBay reputation system for the rest of the world and it’s connected citizens. Things are growing quickly there and he’s looking now to extend the team. I’m posting this here in its entirety:
