ABOUT PADLET
We are building more beautiful and fun alternatives to traditional documents. They're less of a pain-in-the-ass to create, and a lot less waterboard-y to view. Think Microsoft Office, but not as soul crushing.Over ten million people use Padlet, making it one of the largest sites in the world. The company is profitable and well-funded. Our office is a pre-war shophouse along Tanjong Pagar Road. We've gotten this far with just twenty five people. Some special people work at this company.
