We’re on pace for $100M ARR in the next 12 months. So @sideshift_app is hiring.
Looking for:
- Growth
- GTM
- Influencer
If you know martech, adtech, creator, or influencer stuff (or you’re obsessed with winning and want in on a unicorn), hit me up. Fair warning: high output, high agency, and high productivity required.
SideShift already works with 1,500+ brands and 1M+ creators, and we powers the largest marketing campaigns in the world.
Team is 22 people & average age ~22 years old (@nicholasnlawton is inflating that number being 27).
Small enough that people actually see what you do every day.
📍 New York City (6 days/week in office)
Comment & DM me why you're a good fit

Pretty easy to see why Nike as a company is dying.
Anthony edwards announces knee surgery and adidas is already capitalizing on the moment.
genuinely couldn’t tell you the top 3 faces of nike right now.
the day nike moved away from exclusive drops, commoditized jordans and prioritized DTC over the retail ecosystem that built its empire was the day it started losing its cultural MOAT

Valuable lessons i’ve learned from building SideShift:
it’s literally impossible to lose if you keep showing up.
the only way to lose is accepting defeat.
even when a string of bad days or weeks occur means a breakthrough is right around the corner.
the world rewards action, not intelligence

This guy built a $100M creator marketplace with 4 college friends in under 3 years
I sat with him for nearly two hours as he explained how they did it, and we're sharing the full, raw conversation here on X
@ManilowOliver and 4 college friends started SideShift as a local job board that made about $500
No customers, no real users, no product-market fit, just desks in a friend’s apartment kitchen
Today, they’re at 8 figures in ARR, their app hit the top 10 in the App Store, and Sideshift is home for more than 1M creators
Here’s the core of what he taught me:
> influencers rent you their audience. UGC creators post from new accounts, so the same budget buys ~100x the volume
> the creator manager matters more than the creators themselves. Similar creators have been seen to perform 10x apart, and the only change was the manager
> organic content finds the winners, paid ads scale them. When a video hits ~8% engagement, boost it with Spark Ads or Meta partnership ads
We go deep on all of it in this conversation
If you run a consumer app, these are the most useful 83 minutes you’ll spend this year
