Sumo

Over 1.5 million entrepreneurs use AppSumo to discover software tools at steep discounts—often lifetime deals with no recurring fees. The platform has helped its "Sumo-ling" community save over $550 million on products from partners like Zapier, Hopin, and Krisp. Founded in 2010 by Noah Kagan, AppSumo operates on a simple premise: the tools you need to grow your business shouldn't put you out of business.

The fully remote team of 125 works flexibly from wherever they do their best work—whether that's a home office, a coffee shop, or a friend's house with a pool. There's a strong async culture with emphasis on outcomes over hours, and the company actively encourages employees to pursue their own side businesses and entrepreneurial ventures. Unlimited PTO is genuinely encouraged, with particular emphasis on taking mental health breaks.

AppSumo provides 100% employer-paid health insurance through BlueCross BlueShield (with dental and vision), 401k matching, and a home office stipend for standing desks, ergonomic chairs, and other equipment. Every employee also gets free access to the entire AppSumo marketplace—a meaningful perk when you're surrounded by tools built for entrepreneurs.
