At Blowtrumpet, we’re early in our lifecycle, but far from inexperienced. This company draws on 25 years of building, learning, and leading across some of the most influential industries of our time: advertising, artificial intelligence, skill-based gaming, digital marketing, influencer ecosystems, content creation, immersive technologies, and deep tech. Each of those industries is significant on its own. Brought together deliberately, they compound into something harder to replicate.
The intersection is the innovation
Advertising teaches persuasion. AI teaches prediction. Gaming teaches engagement. Influencers teach how to build trust at scale. Technology teaches how to make any of that work at speed. At Blowtrumpet, we build where those lessons overlap — creating products that help advertisers perform better, creators earn sooner, and audiences stay meaningfully engaged for longer.
That intersection isn’t chaos. It’s coordination that has to move at the speed of thought, because none of these fields wait for the others to catch up. If you’re someone who does your best work in that kind of complexity, this is where you’ll belong.
What we value in people
We look for minds that are curious, humble, and quick to learn — people who read widely, think carefully, and act decisively once they’ve thought something through.
Moore’s Law describes how quickly computing power compounds over time, and it’s a useful reminder that in this industry, the pace of change won’t wait for anyone’s comfort zone. Keynesian economics is a useful reminder in the other direction: demand, not just supply, drives real growth, which is exactly why we build for what people actually need rather than just what we’re technically capable of shipping. And if you’ve studied Porter’s Five Forces, you understand that sustainable advantage comes from real differentiation — innovation is one of the sharpest ways to create it, not the only one.
We’re looking for people who connect ideas across those kinds of frameworks, who can move from theory to action and from ambition to actual architecture. If you genuinely enjoy reading, reasoning, and building, this tends to be a natural fit.
The interview, directly
When we meet, expect a conversation, not an interrogation — but expect real depth. I’ll typically ask about your mentors and who shaped how you think, what you learned from the managers you’ve worked under, what you’ve weathered on the way to where you are now, what you actually want to build, and where your confidence comes from.
If you’ve been working remotely, I’ll also ask how you plan to adjust to a hands-on, on-site environment. We’ve found that collaboration, mentorship, and the kind of innovation we’re aiming for tend to happen faster in shared physical space than in isolation. Come prepared to reflect and be challenged, not rehearsed.
What you’ll get in return
You’ll work directly with people who’ve spent their careers building — some who’ve taken companies public, shaped an industry, or mentored people who went on to lead their own. You’ll get real guidance rather than micromanagement, freedom paired with honest feedback, and treatment as someone being developed into a future leader, not simply used as a resource. We’re not trying to make this intimidating. We’re trying to make it worth showing up for.
The opportunity ahead
If you’re looking for a place where you’ll grow and build at the pace the industry is actually moving, this is that place. We’re not just another startup — we’re built at the convergence of several industries we believe will matter a great deal over the next decade, and the foundation is still actively being written.
Come be one of the people building it, not one of the people watching it get built.
