Why You Should Join Claim

You should join Claim for the people.

We aspire to build the best team of the 2020s. Just like PayPal in the 90s, Google in the 00s, and Stripe in the 10s, we want to be known as "a place where it's good to be from."

Our Customer Support Specialist role is a unique opportunity to contribute to growing a generational consumer technology company and marketplace. We are disrupting the future of rewards, allowing brands pay their customers instead of their advertisers.

At Claim, we intend to build a better, more authentic, and more social ecosystem for both consumers and brands than the ones that search engines and social media have forced upon us.

There's a reason this section is at the top: it's the most important to us. If it's the most important to you too, we hope you'll keep reading.

What We're Building

Claim is a delightful way to save money when you try new brands with friends.

Claim is a brand discovery app that helps people save money and find their new favorite brands and experiences. We’re starting with Gen Z college students and plan to expand to cities across the US in the coming year.

Today, Claim is going viral on nearly 100 campuses across the US. Last semester we averaged 86% month-over-month growth, and today our week-12 retention rate is 66%. We’ve raised $20M to date to fuel this growth and expand the product.

Our users learn about Claim from friends, and they sign up by linking their credit cards via Plaid. This lets us understand where someone likes to shop — and where they haven’t shopped yet, but might like to try.

Every week, we run “The Drop,” where our algorithm gives a choice of new brands to try based on a user’s past credit card purchases. If they don’t like what they get, users can always trade with other Claimers or send their reward to their friends. The Drop has become a ritual on our campuses and something that students look forward to every week.

Once users have a reward they want, they shop using the card they linked to Plaid. When we detect the purchase, and we send them a payout to their Venmo account. Importantly, redeeming a reward is very simple: just use your regular card and get a Venmo back — no coupon codes or QR scanning.

This frictionless experience is the core of what makes Claim successful, so if you decide to interview, we’ll add you to the app so you can try it for yourself.

How Our Business Model Works

We charge brands to acquire new customers.

Today, brand marketers have it tough, but Claim makes it much, much easier.

If you’re a marketer, you only have three options to reliably acquire new customers: Meta, Google, or TikTok. It’s hard to know how effective your ads are, and you have very little control of how much you’ll pay to acquire a new customer. If you ask any brand marketer, they’ll tell you that they’re desperate to diversify away from these platforms.

With Claim, the process is much simpler.

Thanks to our credit card link, we can understand where a user likes to shop and (very importantly) where they haven’t shopped yet. This means we can match a brand to a verified net-new customer who will love their product.

Brands can set their cost-per-acquisition up front by choosing a reward value, and brands only pay when they acquire a new customer. As a result, Claim is more reliable, more traceable, and more cost-effective than the existing ad platforms.

In other words, we’re taking the money that would have been spent on Instagram ads, giving nearly all of it to high-potential customers, and keeping a small slice for ourself. Everyone wins (except Meta).

Today, Claim is just getting started, but we’ve already signed some of the best brands in the world including Sweetgreen, Shake Shack, Blank Street Coffee, Gong Cha, Blank Street, Van Leeuwen, Chip City, [solidcore], and many more. The reason we can sign these brands so early is that marketers see the value in Claim — and they’re very excited to use it.
