About Patio
Patio makes it easy for college students to communicate and collaborate. What Slack did for workplaces and Discord did for gamers, Patio does for college communities.
We’ve been growing quickly since we launched. In October 2020, we closed a large seed round led by Redpoint Ventures (investors in Stripe, Snowflake, Nextdoor, Twilio, Hashicorp), Forerunner Ventures (investors in Glossier, Hims & Hers, Chime, Warby Parker), and others.
We are a remote-only startup looking for passionate people excited to build useful social tools! We have a very strong engineering culture (ex-Snapchat, Google, Stanford) and a fun working environment. We’re excited to meet you!
