🛣Traction and backing
- Our customers include Twitter, Intuit, UiPath, Pinterest, and InVision. It's a great community of writers, content strategists, copyeditors, and editorial leaders. They are a true community and the content vanguard. We have a NRR of +130% and we're just getting started.
- Our funnel is large and growing fast (+1M visitors/month, thousands of weekly trial starts). This is important, as you'll have nearly instant feedback on the features you'll be building or the growth experiments you'll be running.
- We're backed by the best funds in the game and a world-class group of founders, operators, and angels. (Series A not yet announced 🤫 but we will share more when we meet.)
🎯Why it's the perfect time to join
- We're 25 people. There's a lot of room to contribute and grow an enduring SaaS company. You will have unquestionably made it happen.
- We have strong PMF. We have strong DAUs and deep usage. People spend hours in Writer. The work you'll do will have a direct impact on some of the top companies in the world — as well as users who depend on us to sharpen their writing.
- Build it, nail it, scale it. We're at 'nail it.' If you like helping turn dirt paths into smooth roads, now is the perfect time to join. We've grown 5x and are running fast towards aggressive — and achievable — milestones.
🤓What we're like
- We connect. We bring our whole selves to work. We're a diverse group on multiple dimensions, and we share that with each other.
- We challenge. We're first principles thinkers and those principles guide our product and GTM decisions. Things you won't hear at Writer include "Because that's what X wants" or "Company Y does it this way." We're all on the same side as we build Writer our own way.
- We own. Building a company that achieves escape velocity is hard work. We take full ownership over our schedules and our outcomes, because we believe that's the purest-energy way to work that hard.
📈Our operating cadence
- We're a low-meeting (<4 hours/week for most people) culture, with 1-2 weeks a quarter that are totally meeting-free.
- We've been distributed since day 1, and our distributed processes and rituals are long-engrained.
- There's low overhead, and projects are single-threaded.
- We break down company milestones into quarterly goals and projects, and emphasize by team the one thing that matters the most.
- All of our dashboards and metrics are transparent, live in a single view, and are shared with everyone.
- We're good at communicating async, use DMs and distracting notifications with caution, and respect each other's work hours. And we'd never send you a calendar invite before making sure you're free.
- Weekends are sacred.
🏢We have a light-filled office in Union Square in San Francisco that's modern, beautifully furnished, and fully stocked. Team members in the Bay area use it when they want to work from an office, and we plan to do a full-team onsite (fully paid) in San Francisco mid-2022.
