Gittip - https://www.gittip.com/ - remote

We're an open company that's turning the economy inside out. Our product centers on small, weekly, anonymous, cash gifts to people you love and are inspired by.

Gittip launched 7 months ago with a single founder and has bootstrapped to about 600 active users moving about $1,500 per week. The concept has legs and now we're assembling a team to take it as far as we can. We started recruiting four weeks ago and have already added a dozen core contributors.

Gittip is funded on Gittip. Full-fledged employees receive no salary (per the definition of an open company) and have access to restricted resources such as production data, customer service accounts, etc.

Just a heads up, in your 'Gittip is Hiring' post, the 'README' link goes to the old repo and the 'new issue' link 404s.


D'oh, sorry! Thanks for the heads up!

I just created a new "hr" repo in the "zetaweb" org on GitHub (technically it's Zeta Design & Development, LLC that is the open company, and Gittip is the product). Here's the updated application link:
