By democratizing ownership in startups, we not only help startups attract the best talent but also allow employees to become owners and eventually entrepreneurs themselves. We create transparency for all owners of a startup, and bring scalability to important processes for founders such as managing their stockholders, preparing financing rounds, managing investor relations, and granting equity to all their employees. Our customers are the leading scale-ups across Europe, like Frontify, Wefox, VIU, NA-KD, and many more. Since our incorporation in 2017, we’ve been listed every year among the TOP 100 of Swiss startups and are ranked as the #1 ICT startup in Switzerland as well as in the Top 10 Swiss Fintech startups to watch in 2020. Our plans for 2021 include expanding throughout Europe and building on the traction we've built throughout the UK, the Nordics, and beyond. Join us on our mission.

Hi! I'm Benji, the Co-Founder and CEO at Ashby. At Ashby, we're improving the productivity of working professionals with intelligent and powerful software. We put a lot of effort into designing products that are approachable to beginners but mastered & extended by power users. In many ways, spreadsheets set the bar here. Our first products provide talent teams with clever automation, powerful analytics tools, and customizable workflows packaged in great UX. We haven't launched publicly, but we have many paying customers who love us and use us every day like Opendoor, Airtable, Duolingo, and Notion. Notion's Head of Talent said Ashby is "probably the tool we are in the most and rely on the most, as a recruiting team." Our culture is motivated by Abhik's (my co-founder and Head of Engineering) and my belief that a small talented team, given the right environment, can build a great product and service fast (and work regular hours!). We hire exceptional people and provide an environment where we can be happy, feel challenged, and do our best work. We are well funded and backed by great investors, including Y Combinator, Elad Gil, and Lachy Groom. We'll share more once we meet!
