Circle
Community platform for creators & brands
Backstory
Circle was founded by Sid Yadav (CEO), Rudy Santino, and Andrew Guttormsen in late 2019.
Circle's founders are ex-Teachable ($250m exit in March 2020) and ex-Gumroad — two notable platforms that have helped its creators generate over $1 billion in revenue. Sid and Andrew were on the founding team at Teachable, and helped it scale to over $30m ARR.
We've raised ~$30m from investors like Tiger Global, Notation Capital, Box Group, Harry Stebbings, Todd Goldberg, Scott Belsky (CPO, Adobe), Jason Warner (CTO, Github), Dharmesh Shah (CTO Hubspot), Soleio, and the founders/CEOs of Zapier, Superhuman, Teachable, Gumroad, ConvertKit, Morning Brew, Rent the Runway, Codecademy, Front, Framer, and ProductHunt.

Approach to inclusion
As a fully-remote international company, diversity is baked into our DNA. Here’s how our CEO, Sid Yadav, frames our hiring mission: “Let’s find talent in underserved and under-represented corners of the world, set them up to do the best work of their lives, and in turn, change their life.” To achieve this hiring mission, we offer competitive U.S. benchmarked compensation no matter where someone’s located in the world, and we proactively seek candidates who expand representation of backgrounds, cultures and lived experiences in our teams.
Flexible working at Circle
Circle is a team of 200+ (and growing!) based in countries all over the world, but we meet twice per year (optional attendance) for company retreats in the most beautiful places we can find.
Our approach to flexible working is generally async and from anywhere. However, we also take into consideration the role and needs of the team when hiring. For example, roles that are customer-facing are likely to be hired in time zones where most of our customer are. Roles that require a high level of team collaboration are more likely to be hired in similar time zones to the rest of that particular team.
What Employees like about Circle

Culture
The best group of people I’ve worked with so far. Inspiring, mission-driven leadership, highly motivated teams, and a product built to make a real impact.

People & Community
I've had nothing but great experiences with them so far. Everyone in the company is extremely supportive of each other, and you always have someone to rely on in case you need help in your own role and/or tasks. I've worked locally in the Philippines for 6 years and Circle was the first remote work I signed up for. I've had no regrets and I can honestly see myself growing here long term. So yeah, all in all I'd say Circle is a pretty great company to work in and the best part are the off sites. They make sure to cover almost all of the expenses just so the team can get together during offsites which is such a huge bonus since it shows how much the leaders at Circle put value on their employees and contractors.

Growth & Learning
Fully satisfied with the company in all aspects — great environment, supportive team, and strong growth opportunities.

Working Environment
I've worked in different start ups for for almost 10 years now and this is by far the best company I've been involved in. The product is constantly evolving and leads the way against competition. Leadership knows what they're doing, understands our customers and cares about building a company that is world-class.
Working remotely has unlocked an amazing lifestyle for me, and having two offsites a year means I'm still able to know my colleagues and spend time with them outside of Zoom calls.
The standards are high and performance is important, but if you're looking to join a company that focuses on merit, culture and success, it's a great place to be.

Culture
What I love most about working here is the level of trust and autonomy we're given. You're treated like an adult, and that makes a huge difference. There’s also a strong emphasis on work-life balance and mental well-being, which is refreshing in a fast-paced environment.
Overall, it's a genuinely supportive place to grow, and I appreciate being part of a team that actually cares about people, not just output.

Purpose
I’ve worked for several companies, but I can definitely say I’ve found a family here. The people at Circle truly care about making the world a better place, and I’m so proud to be part of this mission 🫶
