Ladder

Excited to be hunting Ladder today! What Andrew and team have been building has changed the game for career growth. Online professional communities is the future for the next generation 🚀

Thanks so much for hunting us, @alexisohanian 💚 Hey everyone 👋 I’m Andrew from the Ladder team! We’re so excited to share our new Ladder mobile app with the world, one of the biggest products we’ve worked on since launching the Ladder web platform 1 year ago. We’re rethinking what it means to be an online professional platform and rebuilding all the core components from the ground up — the feed, your profile, your communities, your connections, everything! If you go on Ladder today, it looks like what you would get if Reddit, Twitter, and LinkedIn came together and had a baby (in the best way). You can join professional communities, consume high-quality career content, engage in fun discussions, land your dream job, and form meaningful relationships with peers and mentors. Ladder features three core pillars: ✨ Communities: You can join communities with thousands of peers based on industries, roles, and interests that matter to you. ✨ Content: Ladder communities are filled with high-quality, social career content that range from opportunities and resources to debates and AMAs. ✨ Connections: Let’s be honest, those 500+ LinkedIn connections don’t actually mean anything. On Ladder, connections start in the communities and flourish through Events, AMAs, Group Chats, and Coffee Chats, a tool that handpicks the best people on Ladder for you to meet. At Ladder, our mission is to democratize access to career growth. And community is one of the most important aspects of growing and being successful in your career. It doesn’t matter what you do or where you’re from, you deserve to have a community for wherever you are at. Ladder is where you can find those communities, explore content, and make connections for every industry, role, interest, or career stage. Ladder is not just a job board or online resume. It’s where the next generation can be their best selves by making career growth more inclusive and community-driven. We’ve been around for about a year as a web app, and today we’re excited to launch our mobile app on iOS and Android so that you can take Ladder on the go for all your discussions, chats, and events. Lastly, a huge shout-out and thank you to the entire Ladder team and our investors for making this happen. Let’s go build the future 🚀

Love using Ladder to help further my professional career - the communities are awesome and extremely relevant! I also recently posted on the job board, which helped me receive great candidates in my exact target pool. So excited that the mobile app for Ladder is out too!

A relevant idea/market, but is the app limited to graduates of US universities only? :/ Really curious when founders will start finally see other parts of the world around them.

for anyone who's wanting to get exposed to more career options and find people who will jump right in to help you, ladder is the place for that! 💚

Ladder is really awesome, I have been using it for about 6 months. Made a lot of powerful connections and business opportunities with the community 🔥🔥🔥

The app looks great! Love the way ladder is changing career development
