Why you should joinRipe E very business is becoming an tech business

In 2021, companies spent $140B on SaaS subscriptions. That's 5 times more than 6 years ago. Today, three out of five SaaS companies enable the model of product-led growth ( PLG ) for growing their business.

PLG is a model where the actual product is the key driver of user acquisition, monetization, and retention — not only sales or marketing. Companies like Zoom , Dropbox , Figma and Slack are great examples of companies successfully deploying these bottom-up, end-user-focused motions. And 91% of SaaS companies plan to increase their PLG investments during the upcoming years.

We're building Ripe to help the best products grow faster

Every company that offers software products in a freemium or self-serve way, wants to build strong relationships between their teams and their users in order to grow.

But for most teams, it’s very hard to know to whom they should talk to and in what order. And even when you do know who to talk to, it’s tedious to break through the noise.

The lucky invest a ton of time and effort to pull their disparate data together every month, and then push automated actions toward their best-fitted prospects. For most, the solution is a mix of fragile spreadsheets, back-and-forth emailing, and then drowning their best prospects with emails.

We don’t want to stop by just fixing the workflow but we’re enabling sales teams to become data-driven, not only in who they should target, but when.

It’s a complex tech problem with tangible real-world outcomes, join the fun

THIS ROLE IS NOT FOR EVERYONE As a Founder Associate, you'll work hand in hand with our founding team. You will work intense and long hours, and we expect you'll be available and interested in solving problems with us and our customers, any time of day. You should ONLY apply for this position if you absolutely love what you do and know what you’re good at . You must be ready to work both smart and hard to receive outsized returns.
