You have a few days. Let’s go. The mission We want the world to hear about Standout—and we want to find the creator who can tell our story best.

Create a video about Standout that makes people stop, watch, and want in. We are not looking for a corporate ad. We want original work from creators who understand the internet, understand what we are building, and know how to make an idea spread.

What is Standout? Standout is an agentic hiring marketplace. Autonomous AI agents represent both exceptional tech talent and ambitious startups, vet each side, and make introductions only when there is a genuine fit.

Think of it as the Hollywood-agent model for hiring: talent gets free, passive, and anonymous career representation, while companies pay only when they make a successful hire. We focus on the startup ecosystem—founding engineers, early product hires, and GTM leaders joining pre-seed through Series B companies. Standout is a Y Combinator P26 company based in San Francisco.
