What we do

Everyone needs a home, yet the experience of renting - whether you're a tenant or a landlord - is terrible. Average person loses months of productivity on rental search. Landlords waste billions on commissions every year.

Housing issue is one of the most important problems of this generation. It is urgent to solve it.

We build a way for people to find homes auto-magically, while for landlords to rent out their property in <60 minutes for a fraction of the cost. We want you to be a part of it.

What will you do

So far, 10,000 people in the Netherlands have used Uprent for their rental search - all with a team of three and no marketing budget.

Your role can be described as "how to get Uprent from 10,000 to 100,000 users in the next 9 months".

You will have full ownership of this goal, working directly with the CEO and with significant resources from our engineering team.

We will focus on 1-2 organic channels and become world-class at them. We may use paid channels, but rarely and only as a secondary tool. We prefer a long-term approach and systems over immediate, short-term results.

We expect you to be deep not just in leadgen, but also in the product: how people find us, what messaging we convey, how they sign up, and why they pay. You will also need to understand the numbers: why they are what they are, and act quickly to improve them.

Since we're a startup, you will have to do a bit of everything. Channels or product may change - that's why we're looking for a scrappy generalist who can pivot and learn quickly.

Working culture

Both Yury and Alex have been building startups for years with zero breaks. We only hire people with engineering or product backgrounds, so our team culture is pure geekery. We are currently a team of 3, expanding to 6 over the next two months:

• CEO
• CTO
• 3 engineers
• Marketing generalist

We build small, elite teams of 10x performers. This allows us to eliminate bureaucracy and ship at a higher velocity than anyone else.

We work hard. That means 6 days a week, 12 hours a day. You can be sure you will be surrounded by the most ambitious and hard-working people, united by the shared purpose of solving a generational problem and creating a best-in-class product.

To support this focus, we remove all unnecessary friction from your day-to-day life. We fix (and pay for) your food, transport, cleaning of your apartment, etc.

‍

Location

Uprent is based in the Netherlands. We prefer in-person or hybrid work. If you're outside of the Netherlands, we're happy to help you move, get affordable housing and sponsor your visa. Please note: We do not accept applications from people that haven't lived in Europe.

If you're in the Netherlands, we don't care where you live - in Amsterdam or a Frysk village. We will figure it out.

Start immediately.

‍

Offer

We expect to pay you €48,000 a year + between 0.1% and 5% in equity. You’re not just an growth marketer — you’re a Founding Growth Marketer. You’ll get actual equity. This is as close as you can get to starting a company without taking on ‘founder risks'.

We prefer a small team of 10x performers earning top-of-market salaries over a large team of average people earning average pay. This means that as soon as we hit revenue milestones or secure new funding, we’ll raise salaries to well above market.

We are FAST

All the steps above combined generally take less than 10 days. If you’re equally quick, of course. We will get back to you within 24 hours, but probably much sooner.
