What we're building
Communication on today’s internet is fragmented amongst walled gardens, rampant with scams and spam, and controlled by a few powerful corporations that exploit its users for profit.
We believe the world deserves a means of communication that’s open to everyone, on a network where users control their identity, reap economic benefits from participation, and isn’t controlled by one single entity.
Our mission at Ephemera is to build XMTP, an open, crypto-native communication protocol that connects communities, applications, and users.
Who we are
We set out to design a modern organization from the start—one that is global, remote, and asynchronous by default.
We think of ourselves as a “grown-up” startup. We are building a company that’s fair, equitable, and rewarding for everyone to work at, with an emphasis on having fun while building an ambitious project.
Our team has decades of experience building companies, but we’re looking for more diverse experiences to add to the founding team. Joining Ephemera today represents an opportunity to play a key role in building an essential part of the next web and establishing the company's core DNA.
