More about this role
Relationships are the single greatest predictor of long-term health and happiness. We know this from 85 years of Harvard research. And yet there's no product category dedicated to helping people actually build better ones.
Candle is changing that. We're the world’s first relationship fitness app, doing for relationship health what workout apps did for physical fitness. We help couples build stronger, more intentional relationships through daily habits, play, rituals, and check-ins that actually matter.
We crossed 1 million users and $1M ARR in the first 6 months, now over $3M in annual run rate. And we're just getting started.
