We're a female-founded company dedicated to eradicating the loneliness epidemic.
Here's the Cliff Notes of what we do: we're a female-founded company that helps people build relationships with the people they love.
Here's the long version:
I'm Julie, Small Packages' CEO. I started out as an attorney: graduated from Harvard Law School, and practiced at a large corporate firm. I had zero bandwidth to be a human, and my relationships with my friends and family suffered enormously. So, I quit, and became a relationship coach.
I worked primarily with professionals in their 30s, and I saw the exact same thing happening to them. My clients were “successful” on paper but because of their sheer mental load, their personal relationships were atrophying, and it was ruining their mental health.
I wanted to build something to fix it, because the scope of this problem is enormous. 3 in 5 Americans report feeling isolated, and that's a pre-COVID statistic.
So, we built Stage 1 of our business, which you can see on our website today. Stage 1 of our company was pure gifting.
We curate care packages for all occasions, with handwritten notes, that you can send in under 3 minutes. All of the thoughtfulness with minimal effort...no one wants to schlep to the Post Office. With $50k of investment from friends and family, we’ve scaled this business to over 6k customers, and we’ve done almost $1M in revenue. We’ve worked with Twitter, Uber, Deloitte on the corporate side….we are humming.
Now it’s time for Stage 2: our app, “Present.” It’s the “Alexa for your personal relationships.” Everything you’re juggling right now, to keep your personal relationships strong, it will do for you, with just a few clicks.
We completed Techstars in Oct 2021, where we found and brought on our CTO, Paul Simoni. He’s a full-stack engineer & a PhD. Our UX/UI designer was an early Hinge employee and worked at Spotify.
We're growing incredibly quickly, and need to hire people who understand our mission (making it easy to have meaningful friendships, no matter how busy you are). If that's you, we'd love to hear from you.
