We are on a mission to improve the process of informing the public through great software.

Column is a venture-backed software company. Our team works remotely.

We are a diverse group of engineers, designers, and builders who are committed to creating software that supports an informed public. 

Six years ago, we started with legal notices. Today, we process more notices than anyone else in the US. Thousands of publishers and tens of thousands of agencies, firms, and individuals rely on Column to keep their communities informed every day. 

We work with governments, law firms, and media organizations who want to fix broken processes, investors who believe in our mission, and teammates (we say: Columnists) who want to be the best in the world at what we do. 

We’re reimagining how public information connects people, institutions, and media. And we have a big road ahead. We hope you join us!

Operating Principles

Any organization requires a massive amount of coordination between all different kinds of people, with all different styles and all different charters. Operating principles are our shared agreement about how to get the work done and how to make decisions.

Nail the basics.

Prepare for meetings, be on time, read the agenda, take notes, test before shipping, seek feedback, and repeat! The basics are a prerequisite to our success.

Dive in.

We are a startup — the company isn’t built yet, and there are a ton of things we need to fix. So, roll up your sleeves and dive in. There are infinite reasons something can’t or won’t work. Columnists start with why it can and will. We aren’t naive; we are just committed to doing the hard work that others won’t.

Ship simplicity.

It's hard to make something simple. Columnists practice clarity and exercise concision. We go the extra mile to refine our work for the delight of our customers.

Make your mark.

Everything at Column started as an idea. And every Columnist has ideas that need to be heard. When you put in the work to make your idea a part of Column, you grow, the company grows, and we're all better off for it.

"How are you doing?"

The best question to start or end a conversation. Whether you are meeting with colleagues or customers, take a moment to check in, listen, and learn something new.
