Over ten million readers use our platform, Beanstack, to track their reading, earn incentives, and stay motivated to read. We serve over 10,000 public library and school clients in the United States, Canada, Australia, and beyond.
Our Shark Tank appearance brought us Mark Cuban as an investor. We have since picked up Kapor Capital, Militello Capital, AlphaLab Gear, RevUp Capital, and the AT&T Aspire Accelerator as believers and backers of our cause. Our customers include the Los Angeles Public Library, Toronto Public Library, Orange County Public Schools, and the Hawaii Department of Education.

We're building a product that helps librarians, educators, and families everywhere, and to do that well, we need a workforce representative of the population we serve. We are actively looking to add members to our team who will bring diverse backgrounds, new perspectives, and a willingness to challenge us to improve the work we do every day.
