Athlane is a company that helps creators connect with brands to make streaming their full-time job. They have a strong presence in the creator economy and work with popular brands like Reebok and Herman Miller. They are looking for people interested in video gaming, Twitch, and solving challenging problems to join their team in engineering, operations, or customer empathy roles.

Athlane (S19) gives a 1-minute pitch on their gaming startup, business opportunities and open roles. Watch all the talks and create a profile on YC's Work at a Startup to connect with founders and find your next role: https://www.workatastartup.com/events/gaming-tech-talks-2020

Yeah, so like I said, I'm the co-founder of Athlane.

And so if you're at this talk, you've probably watched a live stream before.

Oftentimes what's not captured in that stream is what these creators endure to deliver that viewership experience, whether it's perfecting their gameplay, building an audience or curating their content.

It's a struggle to kind of take streaming to the next level and turn it into a full-time job.

So that's where our company comes into play.

App Lane is where creators connect with brands to make streaming their career.

So this is just a smaller quote from 1 of our investors, Ninja.

Our team is building the future of the creator economy and our product is loved by creators and brands alike with a ton of marketing teams at companies like Reebok, Herman Miller, and a bunch of others running hundreds of creative campaigns with streamers each and every day.

If you're interested in video gaming, if you watch Twitch on the daily, if you love to solve challenging problems that connect disparate groups of people together, we should chat.

I would love to kind of talk with anyone who's looking for an engineering role, anyone who's looking for an operations role, and anyone who's super customer empathetic.

So yeah, thank you so much, Ryan, Jay, and the rest of the team for organizing.
