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 design-driven companies in the world such as Airbnb, Spotify, Webflow, Coinbase and Amie. 

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 the product, design and company culture as our Founding Product Designer. More information on our career's page. 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.

Passionfroot values

These values are core to our culture. They are the foundational framing we use when making decsions, working together on a daily basis and assessing potential candidates, like you, to join our team.

• 🐥 Dare to grow

  We believe that life-long learning is truly empowering. Hence, we encourage our team to take ownership and we ensure that everyone can give and receive candid feedback. It's okay to try and make mistakes as long as we learn from them.

• ❤️‍🔥 Embrace passion

  We believe everyone is unique and has their own passions. We hope that you will be just as passionate about our mission, and use your individual perspective to help us build the best product.

• 🎁 Serve the community

  We believe that communities are magical and help individuals to find a place where they feel like they belong. We want to serve those who can create communities by building diverse and inclusive communities ourselves.

• 👨🏿‍🚀 Be a creator

  We believe creators are go-getters and problem solvers who challenge the status quo and find solutions with limited resources at their hand. To truly serve creators, we need to be creators ourselves.
