Hi, I'm David!

‍

I’m an SF-based founder building Endorsed, a candidate fraud detection and recruiting efficiency platform, which services Fortune 500s and global enterprises like Principal Financial, Yahoo, and Amadeus travel.

I’ve been building HR startups and professional matchmaking tools since 2015.

I previously founded a freelance marketplace called Sixty, which served 3,000 clients across 72 service verticals, and was backed by Y Combinator. I was the second employee at Laskie (now X Hiring), where I helped take marketplace operations from 0 → 1. Then I led teams at Braintrust building matchmaking features to help companies hire talent, and help talent find jobs.

High Volume Custom CRM

Simultaneously track thousands of orders
Existing tools did a bad job at tracking a large volume of in-progress orders. So we built an internal tool to show the live progress of each client request.

About

Bridge was founded by David Head to help venture-backed startups succeed using no-code tools: from scaling on them to migrating away from them.

While there's currently a great enthusiasm for the no-code tool, the practicalities of using them has not been as much a part of the discussion as it should be. There also are little-to-no strategic and tactical resources available for using them in the context of a venture-backed startup.

As a no-code tool user since 2013, David has experienced both their advantages and limitations of many times over. Most notably at Sixty, the Y Combinator-backed freelance marketplace startup he co-founded, as well as Lambda School, where he was a Data Engineer.
