The Monkey Inferno

About Us

The Monkey Inferno is a Personal Incubator (PINC). A palce where we dream up cool internet projects, develop them, then nurture them into successful businesses.

We're a tight-knit group working out of a funky office in SF. We dream up internet projects then put our code where our mouth is and put them out into the wild.

We're not scared of failure; in fact, we embrace and learn from it. Our objective is to have fun, build something cool (and hopefully worthwhile), and, every now and then, something truly amazing.

We are all employed by Monkey Inferno Inc, the incubator. Once each project is launched it is incorporated as a sub-company and we all receive options in it. Each project has no more than two full time developers, who work side by side cranking out code. But as we receive options in all the sub-companies, everyone is motivated to help every project become a success, whether they happen to be assigned to the project or not.

Monkey Inferno has no outside investors, we're fully self-funded by Michael and Xochi Birch who sold Bebo to AOL in 2008 for $850m. That kind of financial security means we're a fast-paced but low-stress workplace.
