Syed Balkhi in
As seen in
We’re Building a Different
Kind of Company
Bootstrapped
Unlike most companies of our size, we’re fully bootstrapped (no investors). This freedom allows us to always do the right thing and stay focused on our mission: helping small businesses grow and compete with the big guys.
People First
We believe that businesses are built to serve people, and the profits should be used to impact those in and around the business. In our case, people who use our products (our customers), and people who build it (our team).
Purpose Driven
Talent is everywhere, but opportunities are not. Our goal is to help level the playing field with our superior tools, team, and training, so more small businesses owners can create a better tomorrow.
Join us and Make Cool Stuff from Anywhere!
The software we manage are seen by billions of internet users every month. Being a fully remote company, we’ve enabled ourselves to create an absolute dream team to help shape the web for billions worldwide.
We Believe Companies
Should Be Forces for Good
Building a product is great, but building a future is
better. With every purchase of our product, you
help us improve lives around the world.
