OVERVIEW
Hello, Stranger.
Our Vision: Connect like-minded people and put humanity at the heart of digital interaction
ABOUT WANDER
Wander is a mobile messaging platform that brings forums into 2017 with live messaging. Wander brings people together, right here, right now.
We surface the very best communities in a city for you, and provide an amazing chat experience so you can share moments with like-minded people.
We help connect people to the communities that matter to them, and bring people whoâre interested in the same things together â creating a mobile space for great community conversations.
COMPANY AND FOUNDER'S NOTE
Since pre-launching on App Store in September 2016, our members have created hundreds of communities and are making new, real friends daily on Wander. We are funded and are well-positioned to take the social communication space.
As the Founder and CEO, I will do my best to help you reach your best. I'll push you beyond your comfort zone, encourage you, value you, expect more of you, challenge you - and potentially break you. I'll do the same to myself. Good is the enemy of great. When we constantly grow, we get closer to achieving the big, hairy goals.
TEAM SPIRIT
Character, communication and compassion are just as important as skill and experience.
We hire product-thinkers with great attitudes. You have an educated opinion, work fast and challenge yourself, and are a strong team-player with a growth mindset.
As a team, we make thousands of decisions in the process of building Wander. The one thing that drives our decisions is always people. How would someone feel, what would they think, and how do we delight them?
We think of how people communicate in person, and how to bring that humanity back into digital interaction. Since group messaging is about managing multiple trains of thought and different personalities, we designed Wander to bring out the best in groups of people, who are just a tap away.
WHAT MAKES WANDER DIFFERENT FROM OTHER STARTUPS?
We give everyone the freedom to work as adults, and expect that they responsibly do great work, fast. Youâre expected to own your work, and while we provide full support, we donât micro-manage.
This is our culture:
1) Innovation and Intelligence: We create the new, do it intelligently, and value skill and craftmanship
2) Impact and Positivity: We work purposefully, to provide deep, human value that is scalable worldwide
3) Compassion and Empathy: We care about the thoughts and feelings of our users, our team, and our partners
4) Realism and Ambition: We keep a balanced perspective, working fast and smart to maximise our market value
These values lead our decisions. This is our centre.
In our office, napping is encouraged. We have bean bags, gaming consoles and guitars too, but really, we feel most rewarded when we've shipped a great release that our users love.
This is a chance to come in early and shape the product with your skill and experience. Learn, pivot, and experience global scale with us. We have solid angel investors and work nimbly as a team.
