The best part of our job is helping hardworking founders get the success they deserve. Since 2014, we’ve helped over 100 companies go from obscurity to being featured on Shark Tank, CNN, Wired, TechCrunch, and many more.

You will work closely with founders who are passionate about what they do and find brilliant ways to share that excitement with the world.

As a company, we aren’t at the stage yet where we’re looking for full-time employees. However, for this role, we are looking for someone to work on a long-term, “permalancer” basis. As our company grows, we are aiming to provide opportunities for full-time employment.

Training & Onboarding
