Overview

Cherry lets employees choose their own workplace perks. With Cherry, employers cover their employees' favorite consumer services (ex: Netflix, Spotify, ClassPass, Lyft), instead of wasting money on perks that no one uses like in-office yoga and ping pong tables.

Founder

Cherry (w19) let employees choose their own perks. You can see what we were up to at startcherry.com 🍒 After shutting the co down, I published articles about the experience and decision here: https://tinyurl.com/yc5amn6e 🧡 Then joined Dover (s19) as Chief of Staff, later Pilot.com as Head of Startup Community and now am a General Manager at Remote. I invest as a scout at CRV 🚀
