TL;DR: Standout is a CLI that assesses how you actually build, then gets you introduced to the startups worth your next move.
You don't upload a resume.
You open your terminal, type 1 command ‘npx standout’ and show your work.
The CLI evaluates how you think, build, and debug, and turns that into a verified signal of what you can really do. When a role fits, your agent makes the intro.
Free for talent, success-only for companies.
The Product: a CLI that proves you
Resumes and LinkedIn are proxies. They tell a company what you claim, never what you can do. So we moved the assessment to where the work actually happens: the terminal.
Run Standout in your CLI and it evaluates real skill, how you approach a problem, how you build, how you challenge AI. The output isn't a score on a test. It's a living profile of your capability that no resume can fake and no keyword filter can bury.
That profile is the product. Everything else follows from it.
The CLI is what makes the intro real
Once you're assessed, an autonomous agent represents you. It reads the roles that never hit the market, matches them against what you've actually proven, and only makes the intro when the fit is real.
The intro lands as a single message: who this is, what they can do (proven, not claimed), why they fit, why now. No applications. No cold outreach. No spam on either side.
• Proof, not proxies — capability measured in the terminal, not inferred from a title.
• Privacy by default — you stay invisible until you greenlight a role. Identity is never exposed without consent.
• Intros in hours, not weeks — the assessment is already done, so the match is instant.
• Aligned cost — free for talent, companies pay only on hire. No retainer, no exclusivity.
