Startup Resume Template

The Startup Resume Template is built for candidates applying to tech companies, venture-backed startups, and product-driven organizations where the resume reading conventions differ slightly from traditional corporate environments. The layout uses a clean sans-serif type system, generous whitespace, and accent color that signals modern without being trendy. Each role leads with what you shipped or built rather than what you were responsible for — the convention startup hiring managers actually read for. Use this template if you are applying to engineering roles, product management, design, growth, operations, or founder-stage positions where the audience expects you to talk about outcomes (users, revenue, products launched, systems built) rather than duties. The visual hierarchy is friendly to skimming, which matters when hiring managers at fast-moving companies are processing many resumes in short windows. ATS compatibility is strong because the layout is a standard single-column text structure under modern styling. Most YC, Series A, and Series B portals route resumes through Greenhouse, Lever, or similar modern ATS systems, all of which parse this template correctly. Edit each section in the live editor — pick your accent color, fill in your contact info, list your roles with outcomes-led bullet points, add education and skills. Preview updates as you type.
