Meet AppSumo
AppSumo is the digital marketplace trusted by 1M+ entrepreneurs. We’ve helped launch top B2B tools like Mailchimp, Evernote, Intercom, and Dropbox, just to name a few.
Our slogan is “Work doesn’t have to suck.”
What does that mean? We’re totally against soul-crushing “real jobs.” We love it here because the work actually matters: supporting digital creators and entrepreneurs who want to build lifestyles they’re passionate about. With thousands of successful product launches and over a million digital creators served, we’re on a mission to open the doors of entrepreneurship to everyone.
