About Durable:
Our mission at Durable is to make owning a business easier than having a job.
Durable builds AI that does the work for you. Our goal is to own the DIFY (Do It For You) small business category.
What is DIFY? It is a new category of technology that is faster and more cost effective than a human, and much easier to use than software. It is an AI first approach to solving customer problems.
You don't need to learn new software. You don't need to read help docs. You don't need to learn how to prompt. You provide business context and feedback, and the work is done for you.
We believe in a world where everyone is a business owner. Whether it's a full-time, part-time, or side hustle - we want to make it frictionless to start and operate a business. Since launching in late 2022, over 5 million websites have been built with our AI powered website builder. We are generating significant revenue, well-funded by Silicon Valley investors, and growing extremely fast.
Our vision is much bigger, and we're looking for incredible people to join our team and make an impact.
