Senior Finance Manager

Solsten

New York, NY
Minneapolis, MN

Kill Busy Season Take

Company: Solsten uses AI to help brands understand the psychological traits, motivations, and wants of their users to create human-centric experiences.

  • They are primarily in the gaming industry right now (helping gaming studios understand their users) but plan to expand into other verticals and use cases in the future.
  • Something to think about in terms of marketing--- is "gaming" an appealing keyword to utilize or should we market it more broadly? I could see there potentially being an advantage with the gaming keyword with male candidates and potentially the opposite with women... Supporting the gaming industry can have a negative connotation depending on the audience, but once you dig deeper into Solsten you realize its broader use cases.
