What Is Rogo's Hiring Pitch?

Gabe Stengel says a generic hiring pitch is hard because it always depends on the person's motivation, and his pitch for Rogo today is that AI is going to completely transform the world. The most interesting place is applied AI, because that is where AI intersects with humanity. The companies that dictate how AI intersects with humans and touches humans are going to do the most interesting creative engineering and product work in the world.

Finance is a domain that is the catalyst for all human progress and innovation. Capital allocation is upstream of the financing of every company, every idea, and every economy, so making allocation more efficient can supercharge the world. Rogo is the category leading player with the best shot on goal to be not just the $100 billion business to do it, but the $500 billion business that completely transforms capital markets. The depth and complexity of the problems are exciting, and the group is super smart, hungry, curious, and low ego.
