- **Founders**: Ricardo Fayet, Matt Herron, Vincent Durand

## Core Business

## Products & Services

- **[Reedsy Learning](https://blog.reedsy.com/learning/)**: Free, high-quality online courses and webinars for authors covering craft, publishing, and marketing topics.

- **[Reedsy Prompts](https://blog.reedsy.com/creative-writing-prompts/)**: A community writing prompt tool and short story competition hub.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly available (private company; no known recent funding round setting a valuation; last funding was a $1.2M grant in 2016)
- **Key Metric**: Annual revenue estimated in the range of $5M–$25M (per LinkedIn company data); community of over **5 million authors** and publishing professionals.

    - LinkedIn followers exceed **96,000**, up ~6.8% year-over-year.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Curated, high-quality talent pool**: Accepts only ~1% of freelance applicants, ensuring a high bar for quality comparable to top publishing houses.
- **Full tool ecosystem**: Unlike simple directories, Reedsy provides proprietary tools (writing, collaboration, file sharing, payments, project protection) that keep authors and professionals inside the platform.

- **Remote-native culture**: Fully distributed from the start, with a deep understanding of how to build and scale remote creative teams.

## Strategic Focus
- **Expanding the marketplace** to new professional categories (e.g., ghostwriting, marketing) and to more international markets (33+ countries).
- **Deepening author education** via Reedsy Learning courses and Discovery reviews to fuel author self-sufficiency and community engagement.
- **Refining AI/automation** tools to assist authors while protecting the value of human professionals (the company is cautious about full automation in favor of human creative quality).

## Why Work Here
- **Full remote forever**: Reedsy is a fully distributed company with a team of around 50 core employees (plus a global network of freelancers). Team members work from 15+ countries.

- **Diverse, global team**: Recruits talent from top publishers (Penguin Random House, HarperCollins, Macmillan) and freelancers globally.
- **High employee satisfaction**: Employer rating of **4.1/5** on LinkedIn across categories including Work-Life (4.1), Culture (4.0), Career Opportunities (4.2), and Compensation (3.9).
- **Flat, autonomous culture**: Small core team allows for significant ownership and impact. Roles span design, editorial, marketing, customer experience, and engineering.
