Opportunity discovery, not search

Five opportunities that match your background.
Not five hundred search results.

Sift reads your profile, scans live signals (funding rounds, hiring spikes, founder backgrounds, transition patterns), and surfaces the five most relevant moves you could make this month. Built for founders, people in transition, and career changers.

Three lenses

Pick the lens that matches where you are right now

🌱 The Founder

Find the five builders worth knowing

You are building something. You want to find founders one step ahead, adjacent builders solving related problems, and the right design partners. Not a database of companies. The specific people who would actually answer a cold email.

  • Ranked by Fit, Why Now, and Reach — three scores, not one
  • See founder backgrounds, funding signals, hiring spikes
  • Get the right person to reach + a draft email
