Company Overview

A different type of high-growth SaaS company
We are champions of the Bootstrap Movement — purpose-driven, self-reliant, and dedicated to creating real customer and team value

Aha! is a very different type of high-growth SaaS company. We are self-funded, fully remote, and have no sales team. And we are highly profitable — surpassing $100M in annual recurring revenue (ARR) in early 2022. We aspire for a world of lovable software built by happy teams. Today more than 700,000+ product builders at many of the world's best-known companies trust our software to build a better future.

Our vision has never wavered. We believe that the companies that succeed in today's dynamic markets are the ones that lead with a bold mission and connect strategy to their work. And the most value comes when teams work together. This takes discipline and requires a goal-first approach, thoughtful prioritization, and cross-functional planning. Our products, services, and partners help companies transform old, inefficient ways of innovating into a fresh new approach.

Everyone enjoys getting meaningful work done. We want you to (re)discover your joy for work — that sense of confidence, impact, and swagger that makes you say, “I’ve got this.” Aha! helps teams be their best and be happy.

Lovability in action
Many people would say that love and business make an odd pairing. We have been fortunate to find that the opposite is true. Customer and employee love is a metric we track at Aha! because it is a real measure of engagement and business performance.

We take a human-centered approach and reject the growth-at-all-costs mentality that is standard for so many SaaS companies today. Our focus is on building mutually beneficial relationships with everyone we work with. The Aha! way is definitely unconventional but we know it works.


Diversity, equity, and inclusion

We believe that you create lovability by putting people first — because every single person has value. Aha! is a learning organization where everyone has an equal opportunity to grow and thrive. Our focus has always been on hiring the most talented person for each role, regardless of their background. And as an entirely remote company, our team is located around the globe — from the United States to Canada to South Africa to Mexico and the United Kingdom.

We are proud of the Aha! team and the diversity of our colleagues. But we have work to do to make sure that more people from groups historically underrepresented in software learn about Aha! and consider joining our team. We also will continue to support many more through our philanthropic work and fellowship program.

Each of us has a role in changing the future. We cannot stand idly by. Change can happen quickly if there is action. Aha! will be part of that change and will continue to hold ourselves accountable for being a positive force. Here are a few ways we are working to create more opportunity for all:


The values that guide us

The real thrill of being at Aha! is realized by working closely with a team that is committed to a shared set of values. We take a human-centered approach and reject the growth-at-all-costs mentality that is standard for many technology companies.
 

  • Integrity: We hire folks who are as good as their word and respect others, even when they disagree. That means no drama and no dysfunction. There is no wiggle room when it comes to being honest and having strong moral principles.
  • Skill: Hard effort + experience = skill. We hire experts who continually work to perfect their craft. Skill development is a conscious journey — we embrace opportunities to grow individually and as a team.
  • Effort: Having a plan is a start. But doing anything well is hard work. Who says work cannot be just as fulfilling as all the other parts of our lives? Our team loves pursuing audacious goals and achieving them together.
  • Ambition: We are natural achievers and want the opportunity to do something important. We set ambitious goals and always have plan to get there. We want to look back and say, "I helped build one of the greatest software companies."
  • Learning: We are a learning organization. This looks like direct feedback, internal coaching programs, annual education stipends, and paid time off to enroll in professional classes. And we always strive to promote from within.
  • Team spirit: When you believe in what you are trying to accomplish, it is possible to achieve greatness together. It requires a clear vision and the ability to put the organization's goals on the same level as personal aspirations.

 

Careers

Love your job and teammates
Our fully remote team is happy, productive, and results-driven. Join us and see what it feels like to work at a company that puts people first.

Grow your career and be happy
We want you to be happy. Really happy. Customer and employee joy should be the aim and core of a company's existence. Aha! takes a simple yet unconventional approach to creating joy — we focus on creating real value. We hire exceptional people who love to achieve, support their teammates, and want to work from where they are happiest.

We set clear goals and give people space to contribute and be recognized for it. (And we reward the team's success with generous profit sharing.) Being a remote-always company eliminates the need to commute and gives you more time with family and friends too. These are just a few of the reasons why we joined Aha! So what are you waiting for?

We are highly profitable
We have built a sustainable business by creating honest value and relationships. And it has worked. We are highly profitable and growing. (And we have done it with no venture funding, offices, or salespeople.) But the real story is not about reaching $100M+ annual recurring revenue (ARR) or even growth percentages. It is about how we are helping product development teams build lovable products, redefining what a high-growth SaaS company looks like, and inspiring others to be bootstrapped too. Join the Bootstrap Movement 

We have always been remote
Work is about effort and achievement, not a location. Aha! has been entirely distributed since the company was founded in 2013. You can find our teammates all over the world. We stay meaningfully connected and collaborate daily through Zoom and Slack. And we meet as an entire company each week to celebrate milestones and share progress. See how we work remotely 

We are incredibly responsive
The Responsive Method drives us. It is grounded in the belief that lasting success and sustainable happiness originate in the respect for and service to others. We apply the principles in everything we do, including our interactions with customers and job applicants. Discover the framework that guides us 

We seek sustainable happiness
We have one life and we should fill it with what is most important to us. True happiness comes from doing meaningful work with motivated colleagues and being appreciated for it. That is Aha! — a talented group of people changing how the best-known companies innovate and bring products to market. Get to know the team
