Who We Are

Maven is building the university of the future - empowering the world’s creators to offer cohort-based courses directly to their audiences. Courses on Maven have community at their core, focus on active learning, and are available anywhere in the world.

Our team has raised $25 million from incredible investors including Andreessen Horowitz, First Round, Naval, and Arlan Hamilton, and we've launched sold-out courses with instructors like Li Jin, Anthony Pompliano, Lenny Rachitsky, and Sahil Lavingia.

We're the leading player in a massive and growing market, but are still early enough for you to make a big impact. Join us!

Our Culture:

‍

We’re growing quickly but we’re still a startup, and you’ll have the opportunity to shape how we work. So far we’ve looked for teammates who:

• Are hungry to learn, and can give and receive ego-free feedback
• Take pride in doing great work, and in helping others do the same
• Value clear thinking and open communication
• Don't just solve problems - they seek them out, take ownership of the solution, and see it through from idea to execution
• Are willing to throw away ideas, and are optimistic enough to keep hunting for new ones
• Think 80/20 and focus on getting the right stuff done, not the most stuff possible

‍

We're a fully remote company with employees in New York, Toronto, Austin, the Bay Area, and beyond. Anyone within 1 hour of US time zones is welcome.
