About Firstbase

Remote work is the biggest workplace revolution in history. Nothing will deliver a higher quality of life upgrade in the next decade. The biggest challenge is in providing the infrastructure that makes going remote easy for companies and Firstbase is delivering this core infrastructure that makes remote and hybrid work possible and sustainable for companies around the world.

Today, we serve both workers and businesses by doing two things: we give businesses the ability to instantly support remote workers with all the physical goods they need to do great work (from computers to furniture to company swag & perks), and we give workers the ability to pick and choose what they need for their unique circumstances, then return it when they leave. We’re already working with some of the world’s most interesting companies and delivering service in dozens of countries. That said, it’s still early and there’s much to build, you’ll start with the benefit of momentum and have a broad opportunity to shape the future of our business.
