Overview

OUR STORY

We’re not your average startup. We started from the ground up, bootstrapping our way to millions in revenue (in an already over-saturated market) and now just within two years, we are ranked 54th out of the world’s 474 fast-growing bootstrapped software companies published by Latka Magazine… It’s like the “Inc500” list but only for Bootstrapped SaaS companies….and we continue to grow fast!

LIFE AT EXPANDI

We could go on and on about how we’re the most fantastic place to work, that you’ll have a great time here with all your new friends. But what’s really important is that this organization has ambitious goals and sets lofty aspirations for its people

We want our employees to be better than they were yesterday. We believe in investing in them so they can grow into who they are meant to be; because of this, there will always be something meaningful going on at the company–projects worth working hard for.

We think that at the end of the day, it’s people who matter. And we are a company made up of people; you don’t need to be from Stanford or have an MBA to rise through our ranks and make your mark. We’re looking for talented individuals with ambition, drive, and dedication -no pedigree required!
