Software Engineer

🟣 About Airgoods

Airgoods is building the future of food and beverage distribution. Helping independent retailers succeed and compete with the largest chains.

Today, we help emerging brands (think Fishwife, Ghia, and David Protein) rapidly grow their wholesale business and earn placement into the nation’s best specialty stores.

We started in January 2023 and have since raised $7M from top investors like Y Combinator and Initialized Capital. We are a fully in-person company, with an office near Madison Square Park in New York City.

👋 Who you’ll work with

Paolo (co-founder and CTO): Paolo studied Computer Science and Economics at Yale. Previously worked as a software engineer at his brother’s startup Momence (YC S20). Grew up in Brazil before coming to the US for college. Played soccer at Yale and loves sports.

Elian (co-founder and COO): Elian studied Economics at Yale, played on the soccer team alongside Paolo, and captained the team for two years. He also worked with Aaron at an emerging VC fund for 1.5 years of his time at Yale. Grew up in Asia and Europe before moving to Milwaukee before college.

Aaron (co-founder and CEO): Aaron studied Economics at Yale, where he met Elian and Paolo. After Yale, he worked at an emerging VC fund in New York with Elian; that fund would later write the first check into Airgoods.
