Hey everyone,
I'm Raul, the founder and curator of Calm Companies.
After over a decade in the tech industry, working at an employee monitoring startup and getting fired for trying to create a better work culture, I started looking for companies that prioritize productivity and work-life balance over hours worked.
Over the years, I've spent numerous hours researching and curating a list of companies that actually do this. And what I found is that there are only a handful of them. And interestingly enough, the smaller, profitable and bootstrapped a company is, the more likely it is to prioritize this.
Back in 2021, I found my first calm company. They had no meetings, no deadlines, and no full-time employees. And it was a game changer. Working just 4 hours a day, on my own terms, I became more productive, more creative, and genuinely happier. When I needed time off, I took it—no guilt, no permission required.
Things changed a lot since then, and now I'm on a journey to build my own calm company.
Hopefully, this tiny website can help you find your next dream job.
Society was built for thousands of years on the premise that first, we rent our time to others and, if there's some time left, we focus on ourselves. Though it's funny because if we don't take care of ourselves first, how do we expect to give our best to others?
