Working in a lean startup, everyone rolls up their sleeves and collaborates to get the job done. This inevitably drives learning opportunities by working with experienced colleagues across all departments and disciplines. I have learned a ton about product and the Shopify ecosystem.

There are a ton of challenges in the daily world of Smartrr. I have worked at multiple startups and while everyone tries to play their part at most startups, at Smartrr, the team truly goes above and beyond. There are no shortcuts taken and the team is solving real problems for the long term growth of the business vs short term bandaid solutions.

Between public slack channels, weekly shoutouts, full company all hands, and board deck reviews, a goal of the leadership team is definitely to drive transparency and acknowledgment of both the good and the bad. We report financials and impacts of each team to the full org. Really helps us focus on priorities and feel like we're all part of a larger team.

Smartrr is a unique and rare opportunity. Being surrounded by intelligent, kind, and self-motivated individuals creates an incredible company culture while we all work together towards providing a premium subscription and membership solution for DTC brands.

I love speaking with different brands to learn their origin story and what interests them about the opportunity subscriptions can provide for their business. The entrepreneur in every company we speak with is motivating and encouraging that we're working towards solving a larger pain point for their customers.

Subscriptions are typically considered a "set it and forget it" type of business model. However, if a brand takes the time to invest in a more meaningful connection with their customers, they can generate more recurring revenue and LTV per customer. At Smartrr, we're creating the tools to help brands reach that potential through curated retention.

Smartrr is on the forefront something great. Subscriptions have been the "third-rail" of Shopify checkout for awhile now and it's exciting to be on a team that puts the experience of the customer first, while making the backend setup as easy as possible for brands. Limitless opportunities to learn in a space that is constantly innovating!

From Day 1, everyone at the Smartrr team has been so welcoming. Working with both an in-office and remote teams that spans over multiple countries, there's always a new perspective or take on something that you wouldn't have considered before.

We're quick to pat each other's back when something goes right. And when something goes wrong, the Smartrr team is solutions-oriented and works together to solve problems as opposed to ever putting someone down for making a mistake. It's all you can ask for at a fast-paced tech company.

Gaby provides a clear and well thought out mission for Smartrr as its CEO. She goes above and beyond to ensure that everything is running smoothly and is constantly implementing and looking for ways to improve the company. On top of having built a great product, she has also built an incredible team of talented people.

Everyone has a say at Smartrr and it really feels like my voice is heard. Thomas is an amazing VP of Engineering who actively tries to make sure your opinion is accounted for. From the weekly 1-on-1's where I am asked for any thoughts I have on the current state of the company to the daily standups where I can help prioritize what needs to be done, Smartrr is a place where I can freely speak my mind.

The team at Smartrr is world class. Everyone brings their best to work day after day and it definitely shows in our product. Just being around them has inspired me to be better and every day is just as fulfilling as the last.

SmartRR benefits from having a core of driven, intelligent, leadership that cares deeply for their employees is important to any culture. This helps you grow quickly, build a team efficiently and enjoy going to work.

The best part of a small startup is the opportunity to be involved with any aspect of the company. You're never going to adhere strictly to your job description. Things are just growing too quickly. This allows you to take on more responsibility and quickly prove you should be moved up. Most of the time out of necessity you will be bumped up quickly.

Everyone I work with is smart, nice, and driven. When building a startup you need to be able to rely on your teammates to be able to deliver on what they need to, and know that everyone is going above and beyond the call of duty. At SmartRR I feel like I'm working with the brightest people on the planet. It's a great feeling.

I love speaking with up and coming brands and helping them grow their subscription portion of their businesses. It's a great feeling when we hear how much we've positively impacted their revenue numbers. We are all in it together day in and day out, it's been challenging in all the best ways.

We've been through a lot as a team, and through all the unique problems or challenges we've faced, every team member from sales to engineering have always had the company's best interests in mind. Everyone is willing to work late or come in early, no questions asked because they all believe in what we are doing, all while having an optimistic mindset and not focusing on the problems but the solutions.

The leadership is all about the "We" and not the "I." The mentality at Smartrr is about how can we all work together and lead each other to the success we all are looking for. Gaby is an incredibly hard working person and has very high expectations for the team because she knows what each one of us are capable of doing. Her drive and ambition keep the team performing and putting their best work forward, always. She is outspoken and not afraid to show you how things can be improved in a constructive way. It is a fun and challenging environment to work in for that reason.

I have nothing but good things to say about Smartrr since joining in September 2021. The leadership here is very supportive and motivating. Smartrr has a perfect blend of an exciting tech startup and strategic leadership that I confidently believe will make Smartrr and my career here a great success.

The projects I've worked on at Smartrr have been very challenging and exciting. Being able to see the significant impact my work has on the growth of the company is very rewarding.

The Smartrr team is extremely driven and dedicated in our goal to provide the best subscription experience in the DTC space.
