Overview

Zyper helps brands connect with their fans, and fans connect with each other. Our founder Amber Atherton leveraged a brand community to grow and sell her online jewelry brand, and started Zyper to help other companies do the same. The team started in London in 2017, but quickly moved to Palo Alto to participate in Y Combinators’s Winter 2018 program. As brands like Lyft, Unilever, and Dior used Zyper to grow, the company attracted the attention of top investors like Forerunner Ventures and Talis Capital.

Today, Zyper is a distributed team of 30 people. While our HQ is in San Francisco, our product and engineering team members live in Oakland, NYC, Colombia, Portugal, and Romania.
