Deep Dive

CoLoop (YC S21) is hiring ex-technical founders in London for £90K-£180K roles building "agentic AI" systems. The company killed a $1M ARR product before pivoting to customer research AI. They seek engineers who've founded AI startups and shipped complex agent systems. The flat structure has no product managers—engineers own full cycles. Three former employees became YC founders, and the company promises to back departing employees' future ventures.
