Accounting Manager

🎯 What We Do:

One of the most inspiring things about the internet is how easy it is for ANYONE to start a business – especially in e-commerce. Unfortunately, when these founders realize it’s time to move on (maybe it’s a new idea or career, or time to start a family…) their only option is to wind it down with nothing to show for it. OpenStore promises these small business owners that we’ll (1) automatically give them an objective, data-driven valuation and (2) buy their business for that price and finalize the sale within 2 weeks. That’s not only the freedom to pursue what’s next — with six to seven figures in their hands — but also the ability to see their baby blossom into a household name under OpenStore’s stewardship. We’re a series B startup with $105m in funding from top VC firms like General Catalyst, Khosla Ventures, and Founders Fund. We’re actually founded by Founders Fund’s General Partner – Keith Rabois – who was also the COO at LinkedIn / exec at Square. Our whole team is only 40 people, but super impressive across the board with the subject matter expertise to succeed.
