Hi, Hello! 👋
Want to join a diverse and exciting team that will revolutionize how the world thinks about digital brand identity? You’re in the right place.
At HiHello we have created The Software Platform for Digital Brand and Identity. This platform enables companies of all sizes to leverage digital business cards, email signatures and virtual backgrounds to present their brand consistently in every interaction—whether that is in-person, over email, or on video.
HiHello is venture-backed and was co-founded in 2018 by Dr. Manu Kumar, who previously founded Carta and CardMunch and invested in companies like Lyft, Twilio, Auth0, LucidChart, and Everlaw. HiHello’s customers span thousands of companies worldwide and across all industry segments. Every month, over a million HiHello cards are shared helping people to connect and grow their professional network while also helping to #savetheplanet.
HiHello’s team comprises a diverse group of kind and respectful individuals across the Americas. We believe in working hard, having fun, inspiring greatness, helping others, embracing kindness, learning and leading, living and working flexibly, and communicating openly.
