About The Shortlist NY

Connecting exceptional talent with breakout founders in New York. The Shortlist connects engineers, designers, and GTM operators with breakout early-stage founders at the moment when teams are still forming. Each month, the series hosts a highly curated, application-only showcase featuring six founders in a room. Founders present what they are building, why it matters, and the specific roles they are hiring for, followed by open conversation. Alongside the events, The Shortlist publishes a bi-weekly newsletter highlighting under-the-radar startup roles. The focus is on pre-seed through Series B companies, many led by second- and third-time founders building quietly before wider attention arrives.
