Postful was founded in 2006 to be the bridge between digital and physical worlds.
While printed communication may no longer have the cultural centrality it enjoyed in recent centuries, it remains hugely important both socially and economically.
Almost half the adult population in the US is rarely or never online. Globally the numbers are closer to 80%. This segment of the world is cut out of the modern informational revolution. Until now.
Having worked on some of the key projects in modern digital print, our founding team saw a $100 billion/year industry on the verge of a revolution. It quickly became clear that the print industry had no interest in revolution. There was a need for Postful.
By working to help both individuals and businesses connect across the digital divide, we have focused on providing a complete solution to these challenges.
With Postful you can:
It's a simple core that opens a host of benefits and possibilities. We're constantly delighted by new applications our users find and the potential is not even close to being tapped. We look forward to seeing where you take us next.
Fun fact: the entire Postful management team has the same birthday.
What we cannot speak about we must pass over in silence.
Justin Garten
Justin combines a background in web development with extensive experience in the world of digital print (helping to produce the first personalized print magazine among other projects). His other experiences aren't really relevant to this experiment in hagiography. Contact tips: Justin is most easily dealt with in the afternoon and evening and is vulnerable to gifts of food. Special business skill: hostile partnerships.
Ara Vartanian
Ara brings a software development background to Postful, having specialized in architecting high availability systems. He's worked with C++, Rails, and far far more Java application frameworks than he would care to remember. He is somewhat of an expert on unusability, having found that he prefers obscure shortcuts and command-line interfaces.
