Founder Story

“We joined the Enjoy The Work family over 4 years ago. We had just raised our seed round and barely had a product in market. They helped us climb back from the brink so many times I can’t count. It felt like Jonathan and our other Enjoy The Work advisors were team members and were in it with us every step of the way. I can confidently say that there is no chance we could have successfully grown and exited our company without them.”

  Seed

Sarah and Thornton were our first married co-founders. We met them shortly after their graduation from NFX’s (former) accelerator and they had raised a seed round from UnCork Capital. They had an initial product and a small, mostly technical team. Over the subsequent 4 years, we launched, pivoted, executed a layoff, re-launched, grew, raised capital, hired talent, built partnerships, and successfully exited. And equally importantly, Sarah and Thornton welcomed their 2nd child to their family right in the middle of it all.
