    About Us

    CaptainU helps people in youth and college sports succeed. We're changing youth and college sports by connecting high school athletes and their parents, youth coaches, camps, tournaments, and college coaches on a single web-based platform.

    Our Philosophy

    Our view has always been that college coaches want to hear from athletes directly and vice versa. We’re not agents, we don’t take an active role in recruiting, and we don’t advocate on behalf of any individual athlete or college team. Our focus is on providing tools that makes it easier for people to find each other, connect, communicate, and stay organized.

    Our Culture

    We think culture is about more than the normal startup trappings. It’s not about crazy benefits, free meals, and foosball (though we do have that stuff.) Rather, it’s about how we work individually and as a team. As we think about culture, we reflect on what day-to-day life is like for our employees and customers.

    Unlike a lot of technology companies, CaptainU has never taken any outside capital. We’re fully bootstrapped and profitable. This makes a big difference for our customers and employees. It means that we’re accountable first and foremost to our customers, instead of investors whose primary focus is financial returns. It also means that we can constantly improve our working environment, even if a particular decision isn’t the best thing in the near-term for the bottom line.

    Join our Team

    We’re always on the lookout for top talent in software development, marketing, sales, analytics and customer service in our San Francisco and Denver offices. We gravitate towards applications that show personality, a genuine interest in CaptainU and what we’re building, and creativity. We look for people who are great at getting things done and are open-minded about continually learning, testing new ideas, and objectively measuring how they work.
