kula is an early-stage, consumer internet startup company based in Chicago. We’ve built a trusted, social commerce platform for smartphone users who care about whom they do business with online. We’re re-connecting people with their virtual tribes, using digital community and trust to help each other. kula is at the edge of social, hyperlocal, and mobile technologies, and our team is passionate to deliver a beautiful, intuitive experience to users across the world. We’re redefining commerce and capitalism, making everyone into a mobile business. At the same time, we’ve been building a socially-responsible company from Day One. We lead by example, and want to demonstrate how to be successful and socially-conscious at the same time – not just as an afterthought. We’re creating a unique technology company that will make a difference in the world. We aspire to be the next great success story to call Chicago home, and serve as a positive force in the lives of our team members, partners, and users.
