Ruca,
the story.
At Ruca, you'll find partners who shape companies through their earned, not just studied, experience. You'll work with top creative and entrepreneurial talent that launches products, builds brands, and defines experiences from all angles. You'll meet folks who know that the most influential organizations are those that work openly, honestly, and transparently every step of the way.
We have matured over the years, spreading our reach further and further. It all starts with our design-focused studio work for companies of all sizes—from startups in seed rounds to global, publicly traded enterprises. Our services work provides the capital to create our own products, enable our philanthropic efforts, and fund our investments and advisory practices for bootstrapping startups.
As we lean into our seventh year, our investments span seven companies, including one exit. We are actively building two of our own products right now, and we've distributed our first round of donations to deserving causes. Our more than 75 team members—spanning multiple countries and specializing in everything from design and technology to strategy, content, and operations—have helped more than 50 brands outperform to date.
- Your companion, partner, and true love.
- A communal home for our people; a meeting place for our tribe and our clients to convene under similar beliefs.
Ruca, our deep-rooted beliefs.
Ruca operates with a common understanding of how the best work gets done. We keep things simple and consistently focus on removing all potential barriers to doing great things together at speed. Our beliefs have stayed the same since we were two people to now more than 70. These themes are crowdsourced from and subscribed to by our co-op members and partners based on why they love Ruca and convene here.
