Direct, by design.
Your application goes straight to the team. Your resume stays between you and them.
A SMALL IDEA, ON PURPOSE
Finding good work
shouldn’t feel like work.
A job post is a description and an email address.
An application is a conversation waiting to happen.
Operated by
SL Ventures.
SL Ventures operates Plainboard: a focused job board helping people and startups find each other through clear roles and direct conversations.
Explore engineering, AI / ML, data, design, and product roles. Filter by work style and region, read the details, and contact the hiring team directly when a live role is available.
Plainboard is currently a preview. Sample listings show how the board works and are not active vacancies. Posting opens when email verification is available.
Less in the way.
More human connection.
Plainboard connects people who want to do meaningful work with small teams building something they believe in.
No candidate profiles to fill out. No applications disappearing into a dashboard. You find an interesting role, email the team, and take it from there.
For founders, it’s just as simple: write your post, verify your email, and meet your next teammate in the inbox you already use.
A simpler way to post.
A simple form and an email link. Posting is free, and your role stays live for 30 days.
Built for small teams.
Real startups hiring for themselves. A little less noise, a little more possibility.
