Core Values
At KindKatch, our values influence every decision we make. Whether we’re considering giving employees the freedom to head to boy scout camp for a week with zero reception or building a new feature for our partners, our values hold us accountable to be the very best company we can be.
The Backstory
After working in nonprofit/social impact in the US and Australia, our Founder, Nicholas Kristock, moved back to Michigan in 2015 and started a nonprofit called Fleece & Thank You. Its mission is to provide every child in the hospital with a colorful fleece blanket and a video message of support directly from the donor. Nicholas created software to allow personal video messages to be exchanged between blanket makers and recipients. His idea caught the eyes of other organizations, which resulted in the spinoff of KindKatch.
After years of iteration and testing, KindKatch was brought to market in late 2020 to make brand and user-generated content easier than ever before to capture, curate, and share. For our founder and early customer, video at scale was a struggle. We like to think we have changed that.
Culture
As far as we know, we only get one ride on this planet, and the ride of life is too short to not surround ourselves with good humans. At KindKatch, we believe in the goodness of others. We believe that everyone has a purpose. We believe that, deep inside every human, there lives a 1-billion view Ted Talk waiting to emerge.
Our brand, our product, our service, and our culture will only be as good as the people in the room (virtual or in-person) and the ideas we bring to life together. We’re building a culture for good humans to thrive in, a product for good organizations to succeed with, and a movement for good messages to be shared with the world. And, we are proud of it.
