We believe something magical happens when you keep the band together for the long haul. We’re creating many products that solve simple problems. Why? We’re creative people by nature who thrive by constantly building.
One reality when starting a company is that not everything will work. We’ve built a model that embraces this. We’re profitable, but if something ever went south, we have the capital from other ventures to persist through time. We’re building to last.
Need/Want is fully remote with no office, allowing our team to work anywhere in the world they choose. This enables us to attract and retain the best talent while giving our team the freedom to create a work environment that suits them best.
You’ll find us in coffee shops, home offices, or coworking spaces, working online together to sustainably grow our business. We believe the future of business is digital and working remotely gives us an unfair advantage in the marketplace.
