About Stable
Our mission is to make it simple to headquarter any business on the internet. Today, we provide companies with a business address and a dashboard to manage their physical mail online. Over 6000+ companies like Gitlab, Glassdoor, and Indiegogo use Stable to automate their mailroom and act as their permanent business address with the IRS, state, and vendors.
The rules that regulate US entities were written in the 1800s. Stable abstracts these antiquated requirements with tools that empower modern companies to move forward faster.
These rules don't make sense for the way we work today - work takes place in the cloud and businesses are no longer tied to physical proximity or geography.
We're on a mission to fix the broken system of entity management. Starting with business addresses and mail, we're abstracting the complex, archaic systems that make company-building painful and turning them into delightful experiences - so that modern businesses have the tools they need to move forward faster.
We're backed by leading Silicon Valley investors like Y Combinator, Craft Ventures, Shakti, Hustle Fund, and founders from companies like Lattice, Apartment List, and FlexJobs.
Our business is at an inflection point. We're growing quickly with a product people love and we've proven we can service companies of all stages and industries - from early-stage startups to mid-market companies in industries like technology, logistics, and property management.
This is an opportunity to join an early-stage startup as one of the first employees and have work that directly impacts the future of how companies are built.
