Who We Are

Curastory was created so that video could be simpler. We were frustrated with platforms controlling our videos, so we decided to do something about it — starting with a service that allows creators to edit, monetize, and distribute their videos to all of their platform channels, 100% free. Long term, our aim is to simplify every part of the video creation, monetization, and distribution process, bettering the lives of all video creators + the experience for their viewership audiences. We’re backed by the early investors of Snapchat, Cameo, and Giphy that believe in our vision for the future of video, and we are aiming to build a company that powers every video for audiences everywhere.

Join the Curastory team as we continue to evolve our product to meet the needs of our creators, brand partners, end-user audiences, and provide a much-needed change to the way video is created, monetized, and consumed forever.

Where You’ll Come In

At Curastory, we have a very strong culture of marketing to, selling to, acquiring, and retaining the right video creators and brand partners that love our product. The Sales + Marketing team specifically works on constantly engaging our current users, as well as marketing-qualified and sales-qualified leads within our audience through content marketing + paid channels.
