About Circle
Circle is the world’s leading community platform for creators and brands.
Our customers use Circle to build a home for their communities, events, and courses — all under their own brand.
Our mission is to help the world build transformational communities.
We have three core beliefs:
- Creators transform individuals and change the world.
- In the coming years, millions of new creators will follow their life’s calling.
- The best way for creators to thrive is to build transformational communities.
Today, Circle powers 10,000+ communities for some of the world’s leading creators and brands.
Our customers range from creators like Ali Abdaal, Dr. Becky, and Jay Shetty, to brands like Harvard, SpaceX, and Oprah Daily.
Circle was founded by Sid Yadav, Rudy Santino, and Andrew Guttormsen in early 2020.
Circle's founders were formerly on the founding team of Teachable, a course platform which has helped creators generate over $1 billion and was acquired for $250 million.
We've raised $30m from 30+ world-class investors.
Some of our investors include the founders & CEOs of companies like Zapier, Hubspot, GitHub, Superhuman, Teachable, Gumroad, ConvertKit, Morning Brew, Adobe, Codecademy, Front, Framer, and ProductHunt.
We’re fully remote international 🗺️
Circle is a fully remote company of 130+ team members based out of 30+ countries in the world. We strive to find exceptional talent around the world, set them up to do the best work of their lives, and in turn, create a meaningful impact in their own lives. We don't track hours, but we do manage for high expectations very closely. We collaborate across time zones, are highly async when possible, and like to document a lot. Twice a year, we bring the whole company together for incredible company retreats in beautiful places around the world.
Our most recent retreat was in Bodrum, Turkey (March, 2024):
