Our mission is to make dignity a given and not a privilege
There are only 8 public restrooms for every 100,000 people in the US while other countries have 3-7x that ratio. With the rise of e-commerce, the gig economy, and delivery being the fastest growing industry in the US, a growing class of drivers and mobile workers are often left to find their own solutions:
Pronto provides dignity and relief to those in need by providing fast access to clean restrooms nearby, starting in San Francisco with 275+ locations in partnership with local business and nonprofits. We're a venture-backed pre-product/market fit startup.
We are building for equitable dignity of all workers. In line with this, we believe in a diverse and inclusive team where everyone is welcome.
This is a fast-paced, multi-faceted role with extensive growth potential for someone with an entrepreneurial mindset and hustle. As first business hire, you’ll be on the founding team and work closely with the team and users to identify and tackle key opportunities as they arise. You’ll touch sales, marketing, operations, partnerships, finance, people, data, and product.
The ideal candidate is mission-driven, capable of wearing multiple startup hats, has experience in early stage startups, and perhaps plans to found their own company down the road. This is the rare opportunity in which you will learn the ins and outs of running a venture-back startup from near inception to finding product-market fit and beyond.

| Desire and ability to grow / learn extremely quickly through osmosis and doing | can “fly a plane” |
There’s learning how to fly a plane via structured courses, theoretical simulations, and steady instruction to support you. And then there’s learning to fly a plane blind with a fellow blind co-pilot while the plane is taking off and headed to a nearby mountain range. Early stage startups are the latter and your personal speed of learning has to be faster as a result. This should more excite you than scare you. | | Humble, kind team players that share the team burden, and appreciate and give direct feedback frequently | • roll up their sleeves and do the small and thankless along with the visible and strategic with equal gusto and reliability. We are all doing the same together • are oriented towards community and team • understand that feedback is a gift and give that gift generously and often to peers, managers, and reports |
