Bland's GTM team is scaling quickly and we urgently need three additional SEs to join our team. Need that rare mix of ultra high IQ and EQ, and ideally experience closing over 10+ Fortune 1000 logos. Offering $5k referral bonus if you send us someone awesome!

Pumped for the founders but actually unhappy to hear this. Felt like Poke had a real opportunity in consumer -- including around orchestrating proactive outreach and being peoples' goto personal agent. Just feels like a loss to let things go this early. https://t.co/0HHn7KA2rp
