About Blueleaf

Working At Blueleaf

“People wanted for hazardous journey. Small wages, bitter cold, long months of complete darkness, constant danger, safe return doubtful.

Honor and recognition in case of success.”

We’re a startup and Shackleton’s ad still rings true. If you’re passionate about what you do and have startup DNA (see above) we’d love to talk with you about our passion, Blueleaf.

Blueleaf will help people take control of their investments through helping them understand their investments, monitoring their investments for them every day, helping them collaborate with the people they trust, and securely powering third-party apps with their financial data. To do this, we’re building a hub connecting investors, their families and their financial advisors to ALL their investment and bank accounts, and to one another. Our ultimate goal is ambitious: we want to transform financial services the way Amazon transformed retail sales and Google transformed advertising.

We are six guys: a lean startup CEO, a financial cryptographer CTO/coder, a serial entrepreneur VPE/coder, a test-driven demon engineer, a brilliant ex-Hashrocket user experience designer, and a crafty guerrilla marketer. We’re always looking for the best and brightest to join our world-class team. Our investors include high-profile founders from some of the largest sites on the Internet as well as some of the smartest investors in the world.

We currently have an invitation-only Alpha that we’ve shared with a handful of Blueleaf friends and we’ll happily share with you. Our process is agile: customer driven with quick iterations and A/B testing.
