Ditto is reimagining how people meet — starting with dating. We’re building the first fully agentic social platform where AI does the heavy lifting: understanding your preferences, finding compatible matches, and even setting up real-life dates. Our cofounders dropped out of UC Berkeley in their freshman year to build this vision. Since then, Ditto has gone viral across campuses, set up tens of thousands of real dates, and attracted funding from Google and top-tier VCs, along with brilliant engineers and researchers from MIT, Stanford, Berkeley, and DeepMind. Dating is just the beginning, we are gonna disrupt the entire social scene. If that sounds interesting, come talk to us.

Tabbed is building a frictionless payments layer for hospitality that removes the most broken part of dining: closing the check. Tabbed connects diners and restaurants through a location-aware platform that automatically discovers checks, syncs directly with point-of-sale systems, and enables one-tap or fully automatic payment. No QR codes, no waiting for staff, and no disruption to existing restaurant workflows. For diners, Tabbed makes paying effortless. Open the app, dine as usual, and leave when ready—Tabbed handles the rest. For restaurants, Tabbed integrates directly into existing POS systems, ensuring checks are securely linked to guests and payments are captured reliably, even in fast-paced or high-volume environments. Under the hood, Tabbed solves complex coordination across location, payments, and POS systems to deliver a consistent, reliable experience across venues. The result is faster table turns, improved guest satisfaction, and a modern dining experience that feels seamless from start to finish. Tabbed’s goal is to become the default way people pay in hospitality—ambient, invisible, and trusted—while giving restaurants better insight into their guests and operations without changing how they work.

We're rebuilding the financial infrastructure for the creator economy. CreatorFi unlocks growth capital and advances for content creators, artists, and game developers in days, not months. We transform future revenue streams—from music placements to brand integrations—into immediate capital, helping creators unlock the hidden potential of their inventory and scale their businesses without sacrificing equity or creative control. The creator economy is one of the fastest-growing sectors globally, but creators still face the same capital constraints that have held back entrepreneurs for decades. Traditional financing is slow, opaque, and built for a different era. We're changing that. What we're building: We've built a financial platform that uses data-driven underwriting to evaluate creator and catalog revenue to provide fast, fair capital. By understanding the unique economics of content monetization—whether it's sync licensing, sponsorships, or digital content—we're able to price risk accurately and move quickly. Why join us: This is an opportunity to work at the intersection of fintech, media, and the creator economy. You'll be building products that directly impact creators' ability to invest in their craft, grow their businesses, and maintain independence. We're a team that values speed, creativity, and solving hard problems in novel ways.
