Founding Recruiter

🚀 About Flow

Flow is massively accelerating the development of next-generation hardware systems. We're the core collaboration layer for complex, regulated engineering—used by the most important space, defense, automotive, and robotics companies of our era.

Backed by Tier-1 VC for our Series A. Angel investors include Patrick + John Collison (Stripe), David Helgason (Founder, Unity), and Kyle Parrish (VP Sales, Figma).

Flow is already the de facto reference for agile systems engineering in hard tech. When humanity returns to the Moon or builds fusion power on Earth—Flow will have played a small but vital role.
