CEO & Co-Founder, Superposition
Edmund Cuthbert
I spent a decade inside recruiting before giving up on recruiters.
The Story

I'm from a family of serial immigrants. My son is the 3rd successive generation of the family to be born on a different continent to his father. A singular anecdote to help you understand me: when I was 8 I memorized the periodic table and performed it set to music for my entire school.
I started a career in recruitment immediately after my double major in Physics and Philosophy. I loved science but I love selling more, and recruitment is the hardest form of sales because your product has an opinion. I recruited hundreds of engineers for startups, including hiring engineer #1 at Brex.
I learned to code, thinking it would make me a 10x recruiter (I was wrong), then pivoted into Product Management at Omnipresent ($120M Series B, lost to, and eventually acquired by, Deel). I built the MVP of Superposition, and used it to recruit Li. I am motivated to build a recruiter that is not just better than me, but is better than the summation of all recruiters in history.
