ABOUT THE COMPANY

theSkimm is a membership company dedicated to helping female millennials live smarter lives. By seamlessly integrating into our members’ routines, we've become a trusted brand to more than seven million people. Our products and services help our members understand the world, feel connected to a like-minded community and make smarter decisions about the things that matter to them. Our flagship product, the Daily Skimm, is still the fastest growing email newsletter on the market, and we've grown our product suite to fit into other routines at home, work, and on-the-go. theSkimm App debuted at #1 in News in iTunes, our podcasts "Skimm'd from The Couch" and “Skimm This” both reached #1 in Apple Podcasts within hours of launching and our No Excuses campaign inspired more than than 200,000 people to vote in the 2018 midterm elections.

As theSkimm grows, we remain committed to helping our members tackle the big decisions in their lives, by giving them the information and services they need to make informed and empowered choices whether that be in civic engagement, finance, career, health and more. Founded in 2012 by two friends on a couch, we've since grown to over 75 employees based in NYC. We are passionate. We are a team. We work hard, but we know when to take a break to enjoy each other's company. Our products help people live smarter lives and we're building a brand trusted by millions of female millennials across the country. Join us!
