Work & culture
Taste- and brand-quality-driven, fast-moving, and very small-team oriented. Public materials emphasize coherence, strong aesthetic judgment, rapid iteration, and building products with a design-agency mindset rather than generic template output.
Compensation
No official company compensation bands were published. A mirrored Founding Engineer posting listed roughly $100k-$125k/year, suggesting early-stage startup compensation with equity, but that figure is third-party and not company-confirmed.
Product & market
Pricing
Freemium subscription with credit-based tiers; higher plans add batch generation, custom domains, version history, priority support, custom model training, and team workspace features.
