Corgi Labs (YC W23) Is Hiring

Corgi Labs just posted a call for two Founder’s Associates—one in the US, one in Singapore—and the comments immediately turned into a popcorn fest. YC (that’s Y Combinator, W23 means Winter 2023 batch) gave it instant credibility, but the crowd saw the subtext: this is the “bring structure to chaos” fixer role, a.k.a. the founders’ right hand, left hand, and sometimes coffee hand. The strongest opinion? Title inflation. Folks argued “Founder’s Associate” is just “Chief of Staff” with extra late nights, especially with two time zones that scream 24/7.

Drama flared over compensation transparency—no numbers in the post had people chanting, “show the salary!” Others side‑eyed the wording: “proprietary” but “explainable” AI for fraud detection. One camp cheered the mission—more accepted payments, less fraud—while skeptics warned false positives can burn legit customers. The memes wrote themselves: “human Jira,” “corgi herding cats,” and “bring treats to unblock founders.” A few optimists loved the operator‑builder vibe, saying this is a rare seat at the center of a rocket. The rest? Worried it’s pager duty with PowerPoint. Still, the company’s pitch—lightweight processes, coordination across partners, and unblocking high‑priority work—has hustlers sniffing opportunity, even if they want more details before leashing up with this corgi.
