About Truth Systems

At Truth Systems , we're building the only trust and safety software any organization will ever need. A protection layer for every individual.

We're laying that foundation with AI Governance. Our product Charter is an agent that monitors and flags misuse of AI in line with firm policies and client rules in real time. We're building always-on, real-time systems that keep people safe and organizations compliant without slowing down their work.

We are:

• Small and well-funded . We've raised $4M from world-class investors like Gradient Ventures, Lightspeed, The Legaltech Fund, Y Combinator, and Pear VC. We are currently a team of 4 . We are hiring thoughtfully, with ~3 people in the next 6 months.
• Intensely trustful + high ownership. We optimize for impact per person by requiring high ownership from each team member. We hire experts, ambitious problem-solvers, and generally unstoppable people, and we place a lot of trust in them. We prefer short (or no) meetings, full autonomy, and individualized schedules.
