Startup Founder Gets Rejected

Text on the meme

Still thinking about this exchange almost 2 years later. (She/Her) · 2nd Software Engineer SEP 16, 2021 Roshan Patel · 3:35 PM Hey — I run a startup increasing access to healthcare by making it more affordable. We just raised a pre-seed round and are looking to hire talented engineers. Any interest in chatting? (She/Her) · 3:35 PM Hi Roshan. I just checked on Crunchbase and my salary is currently more than your entire pre-seed round.

What it means

A social media post shares a private professional exchange from 2021. A startup founder asks a software engineer whether she is interested in joining, but she replies that her salary is already larger than the startup’s entire pre-seed funding round. The joke is the brutally dismissive comparison, used as a reaction to tiny startup budgets and overconfident recruiting. EN: A social media post shares a private professional exchange from 2021.
