The Company

Minted is a design marketplace, sourcing creative content from independent artists around the globe and selling the best designs to the world in the form of art, home decor, and stationery. Founded in 2007 by Mariam Naficy on the principles of transparency and putting design first, we are early pioneers of crowdsourcing having launched our first design challenge in April 2008 and have held monthly art and design challenges ever since. Follow us on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter to learn more. Our corporate headquarters is located near the waterfront in downtown San Francisco, with additional offices in Oakland and Kansas City and we're backed by Benchmark Capital, IDG Ventures SF, Menlo Ventures, Primera (angel investors include Marissa Mayer of Yahoo and Jeremy Stoppelman of Yelp). We're a team of smart, ambitious, creative, and passionate people who come from all walks of life. Might you be one of us?

You will help build Wholesale and Licensing, our fastest growing businesses, creating massive distribution opportunities for our community of 15,000 independent artists. Major retailers, including Target, West Elm, Pottery Barn Kids, and Pottery Barn Teen partner with Minted to source unique, artisanal design backed by Minted’s scalable, high-quality manufacturing for stationery, wall art, and home decor. We’ve also launched Minted Licensing, which brings Minted’s unique design to any product category that we don’t produce ourselves, starting with our partnerships with Method and Samsung.
