Matter

We believe that reading is magic.

And that we need new tools to keep that magic alive. Think about a moment when a piece of writing opened you up to a totally new understanding of your world. Or when a friend had you read something that ignited a conversation and forced you to articulate a belief you didn’t quite have the words for.

We’re building a tool to give you more of those moments. A tool that chooses agency over algorithm. Debate over noise. Quality over recency. We’re a team of fanatic readers who saw internet technology change drastically while our tools for reading remained, dismayingly, the same. So with the backing of GV, Y Combinator, and many stellar angels, we set out to build something better.

We’re looking for creative,ambitious people to help uscraft the future of reading.

You’ll fit right in if you want to take ownership of a product, codebase, and company from the ground up. We’ve developed a passionate following because we ship fast, listen to our users, and sweat the details. We’re constantly pushing the boundaries of technology and design to rethink what’s possible when it comes to reading. If that excites you, we should talk.
