ABOUT WISTIA

Wistia is not your average B2B SaaS company. We are a leading video platform for businesses that want to better create, customize, host, share and analyze the videos that power more human connections with their prospects, customers and employees. We serve companies small and large, and teams ranging from marketing and sales to support and HR.
We are growing fast even though we've been around since 2006. We unabashedly enjoy the fun culture and nimbleness typical of a tech startup, but were profitable and have chosen to raise only seed money, so we have the luxury of being able to control our investments into whatever we think will best serve the long-term value of the company.
We work hard to ensure Wistia is an inclusive and diverse place where everyone feels happy, fulfilled, respected, comfortable, and welcome - learn more about the type of company we’re building on our blog. Read more about our unique culture and the benefits of working at Wistia on our Jobs page.
