About Passionfroot

We are an early stage start-up that raised funding from Creandum and a global community of founders, angels and creators. Our investors backed and worked at some of the most renown tech companies in the world (e.g. Airbnb, Spotify and Coinbase) or built audiences around their passion such as Ali Abdaal, Celine Willers and Doppelgänger Tech Talk.

Our mission is to empower the independent businesses of tomorrow and enable people to work on their own terms. Creators are the fastest growing type of micro businesses. However, the current solutions in the business world are not made to support their growth. Today's creators run multi-million media empires using spreadsheets, personal credit cards and direct messaging.

We're building a no-code tool for creators, solopreneurs and small media companies that helps to sell products and services, save time and run a business - all in one place.

This is a rare chance to join a purpose-driven company and shape our content and community as our Founding Creator. We value all different types of experiences. If you don’t think you quite meet all of the qualifications, we’d still love to hear from you. More information on our career's page.
