🌳 About Bonsai

Bonsai helps thousands of small businesses around the world start, run, and grow their businesses.

The way the world works is changing: Small businesses are the backbone of the economy, driving innovation and job creation. Yet, managing administrative tasks can be overwhelming and distract from their core mission.

We're profitable, growing very quickly, and are backed by some of the world's best investors (YC, Matrix Partners, Index Ventures).

We've also been 90% remote since 2 016 and our team is spread across 9 different countries.
