Friendbuy is on a mission to change how businesses acquire new customers. Our platform powers referral marketing (refer-a-friend programs) for startups, large enterprises, mobile apps and everyone in between. If you’ve ever referred a friend to Dollar Shave Club, Warby Parker, ClassPass or Glossier, you probably used Friendbuy ☺

The reason we win with great clients is because we have great people. Our team comes from MIT, Harvard, Carnegie Mellon, HubSpot, Zappos, Facebook, and we’re backed by leading investors including Greycroft, General Catalyst, eVentures and Conde Nast.
