Work at Wren

We're looking for talented people to help us on our mission to end the climate crisis. This is the biggest crisis humanity has ever faced, and people around the world are waking up.

We're building Wren to make it easier for anyone to do something about the climate crisis—to help give humanity a fighting chance in a warming world.

Our product

Wren is a web app that makes it easy for anyone to calculate and offset their carbon footprint through a monthly subscription. Through a series of questions, the website calculates your carbon footprint and offsets your emissions so you can live climate neutral.

Subscribers choose to offset through a specific project, and then monthly updates are sent showing the progress their project made, like photos of the trees planted or satellite imagery of the rainforest protected.

Our product is still early and there's a lot we want to add. Maybe you can help us!

Our mission

Wren's mission is to help end the climate crisis.

We plan to do this by empowering individuals. Individuals are the atoms that make up society. We need systemic change in order to mitigate the climate crisis, and systemic change comes from individuals.

Wren is a mission-driven business backed by mission-aligned investors like Y Combinator, Union Square Ventures, LocalGlobe, and many wonderful angel investors, including Paul Graham and Yancey Strickler.

We wrote a legally-binding charter as part of our incorporation as a Public Benefit Corporation. In the charter, we commit to being radically transparent, always evaluating our own effectiveness, and being a role model for how corporations should act. These are values that we expect every member of the Wren team to uphold.

What it’s like at Wren

We're a small team, working remotely from the United States 🇺🇸, Canada 🇨🇦, and France 🇫🇷. We're very serious when it comes to the climate crisis, but for the most part we're positive, optimistic, and lighthearted people!
