Hey builders, welcome to the Repo by Reach Capital.
Reach Capital invests in early-stage founders redefining how we learn, live, and work. Our portfolio of 130+ startups includes tools you might’ve used in school (ClassDojo, Desmos, Handshake) and next-gen, AI-native disruptors shaping how future generations build, work, and thrive (like Replit).
These teams are constantly on the lookout for talented builders. Share what you’re studying, building, or exploring, and we’ll share projects, people, and opportunities for you to build upon.
🚨 JOBS. GIGS. PROJECTS. LET’S GO.
Over the past three months of sharing The Repo, here’s what we’ve learned:
You open your emails (bless you 🙏)
You click on jobs, internships, and founder stories
You’re not just looking to get hired; you want to build with real founders and ship real things
We also learned the job hunt feels… broken.
“It’s a full-time job just to get a job.” — every student, ever.
You’re not wrong. Handshake’s latest data shows 28% of CS majors are very pessimistic about the market. The competition is steep, resumes go unread, and most opportunities are hidden behind job boards or networking games.
We want to change that.
