About us
Good design is at the center of Paper . We started Paper not even two years ago because we love the design space, and there’s a special satisfaction in building a tool you’re excited to use yourself everyday.
Today, we are incredibly grateful for the momentum: growing revenue, world-class companies asking us to be a bigger part of their workflows, an unusually strong fan base, and a top-tier group of investors behind us, suchas Accel , Basecase , and ICONIQ .
Paper is already used by designers in production at our favoritecompanies:
