We're a startup, too!
Funded.club was founded in Spring 2019 and has grown to a fully decentralized team of 50+ consultants and recruiters from diverse backgrounds around the world - all with an entrepreneurial mindset.
We're scaling up rapidly now after achieving strong product-market fit and focusing recently on growth channels and partnerships. While we grow, we aim to retain the open and transparent approach to our projects and relationships that has helped us win repeat business around the world.
Team Culture:
We have evolved into self-organizing teams with a modern, "Teal" work culture as described in "Reinventing Organizations" by Frederic Laloux. Good ideas emerge and grow from any part of the team. Decisions are made following an efficient and respectful "advice process". We encourage our team members to plan their own work schedules around family time and their life passions - not the other way around - and to seek meaning in all that they do.
Sustainability Goal:
In a fast-changing world of compounding crises, Funded.club is actively working towards supporting a customer base comprising at least 50% social businesses, sustainability solutions and good causes. We aim to bring the best possible talent to these organizations to help them grow efficiently and increase their positive impact on our collective future.
Customer oversight:
We work in full view of our customers by logging them into our backend recruiting tools as Hiring Managers. Our customers see their projects build towards success and while they're updated regularly by our team, they can also lean over our shoulders any time they like :)
Equal rewards, globally:
Our fixed-fee, global pricing standards also allow us to pay our team the exact same rewards no matter where they live in the world today. If our team and culture sounds exciting to you... join us!
(And no, the images below do not represent a hierarchy! :)
