About the role

Quippy (YC F26) is a daily practice room for the conversations people dread. You pick a real situation, like disagreeing with your manager or starting a conversation at a party, rehearse it with a realistic scene partner by voice or text, and get honest, line-by-line feedback on what landed. The app is live on the App Store. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • You have built something real that other people used, at a job or on your own
  • You move fast and you care how the product feels in someone's hand
  • You take a vague problem and own it until it is solved
  • You are curious about how people talk to each other
