**Our mission**
We all know great teachers change lives. That’s why Nimble’s mission is to help schools find and hire amazing educators for every classroom. Founded at Stanford University and backed by Y Combinator, Nimble brings a spirit of innovation to an industry that has often been overlooked by modern tech companies. Our software suite helps practitioners at all levels of the public education system address one of the industry’s most pressing challenges: recruiting life-changing teachers.
**Our culture**
While some Nimblers are former teachers, others come from companies across the tech and startup world. What unites us is that we find urgency and purpose in our mission of ensuring all students have access to amazing teachers. We have a culture of high ownership and ambitious goals. We balance this with employee trust and flexibility, which allows us to move efficiently without burnout.
We’re highly invested, not only in the mission, but also in each other. As a fully remote company, we’ve created rituals and traditions that allow us to bond from afar, and we look for teammates who will bring curiosity, creativity, humor, humility, and open-mindedness to work each day.
We’re a woman-founded company and a diverse team that has invested intentionally in creating a workplace where individuals from various backgrounds feel a deep sense of belonging.
