Overview

Ladder is a San Francisco, CA–based professional community platform led by CEO Andrew Tan. It provides a community-driven product that aims to make career growth more inclusive for hackers, founders, builders and operators. The company recently launched a new mobile app to help members join professional communities, consume career content, engage in discussions, land jobs, and form relationships with peers and mentors. Ladder's platform emphasizes three pillars: communities, high-quality social career content, and connections via AMAs, group chats, events and coffee chats. The company started as a mentorship program that connected 500+ students with industry mentors and grew a Remote Students Newsletter to 75,000+ subscribers; it now reports tens of thousands of users and dozens of customers and partners. Ladder raised $3.7M and intends to use the funds to expand operations and its business reach.
