Marketing Specialist
Portland, OR

At Sturdy, our mission is to enable our customers to use data to create the best experiences for their customers. Founded in 2020, the idea for Sturdy came from building, bootstrapping, and scaling successful SaaS businesses. While running companies, we realized that there is an ever-growing body of valuable data being created by our users. This data is just sitting in email accounts, in the back ends of videoconferencing systems, in chat logs, and buried in ticketing systems. We founded Sturdy to empower businesses to solve problems that we faced as entrepreneurs and executives.
