Episode Transcript
Alright. Everything is going really well here at This Week in Startups, and we're launching another podcast next year. So we need more resources. What do we need? We need two positions filled. Number one, we need a video editor. So email editor at launch dot co, your portfolio. This can be remote or in person in Austin. It could be part time. It could be full time. We're open to any possibility. If you have a great passion for startups and technology, and you're great at editing, we're looking for two things at the same time. Right? So we drew four quadrants. You're into tech and you're into video editing. We want that group. If you're into tech, but you can't video edit, or if you're a great video editor, you're not into tech, we're looking for both things to be turned on. Second, we need somebody to make shorts because many of people in our audience there, they like podcasts, but they like to primarily do shorts. Right? You might be one of those people. Capcutlaunch.co capcutlaunch.co. If you're like a CapCut editor, you know how to make short videos like the ones we've shown on the show, or you can see on our Instagram or TikTok accounts. We need one person just dedicated to that. We wanna make our own TikToks, and we wanna reuse clips from the show. So two positions, two emails, editorlaunch dot co, capcutlaunch dot co. We we make it really easy for you. Just show us your work. I don't care if you went to college. I don't care if you didn't go to college. I don't care if you got a PhD. I don't care if you wanna work three days a week, six days a week, one day a week. We're just looking for really elite talent. We can work around what you're looking for, pays competitive rates, yada yada yada, all that great stuff. Capcut@launch.co, editor at launch dot co.
