The one-page startup CV template

The format that survives a thirty-second scan. Fill in the brackets, cut what doesn't apply, keep it to one page.

The short version

  • Five sections, one page — startups skim, they don't read.
  • Every bullet follows the same shape: what you did, sized by a number.
  • Skills and education are short lists, not a second act.

How to use it

  • Every bullet should follow the same shape: what you did, sized by a number — scope, speed, or money.
  • Mirror the language of the job post where it's accurate; don't make the reader translate your title.
  • Cut anything more than eight years old unless it's directly relevant — startups care about recent, applicable work.
  • One page. If you're cutting content to make it fit, cut the oldest role first, not the formatting.
