Our take
The browser is a universal piece of technology, enabling people to access all that they want from the internet. However, the browser itself is often ignored, and despite all the changes to other software over the years, it has remained relatively unchanged. The Browser Company is building a new browser named Arc; designed to think quicker, reduce user work, and facilitate the modern way in which the internet is used.
The Browser Company, founded in 2019, sees an opportunity to create a browser that excites. Currently, brand dedication for browsers is limited, as they are designed to act in the background, which keeps their performance issues in the background as well. The Browser Company aims for Arc to be intelligent, and overcome problems such as overwhelming hits, online distraction and information being hidden under irrelevant results. Its competitors of course include some of the biggest names in tech, but it hopes to stand out by creating a browser that is dramatically new and more powerful, which will create its own space in the market through uniqueness in performance.
The Browser Company’s browser was released for mobile and Windows in 2024 and has been met with positive reviews. The company has raised impressive funds that will contribute to the further development of Arc and the release of Dia - an AI-focused browser - set to be released in 2025.

Company benefits
- Choose-Your-Own-Compensation Plan: When we give you a job offer, we’ll actually give you two different offers — one that is focused on having a higher salary and one focused on higher equity. Candidates can choose either offer (or any numbers in-between) when they accept.
- Best in the Biz Insurance: We provide employees with full coverage medical, vision, and dental insurance and a free One Medical membership to help you keep you and your family healthy. We cover 100% of employee plan costs and up to 90% for dependents.
- Napping During the Workday: Some of us are better in the mornings, others are more productive in the afternoon. People should take breaks when they need to. If you’re on our team, we trust you to get your work done — our policy is: work when it makes sense for you!
- Take Time Off, Please!: We believe that people do their best work when they’ve rested and had valuable time off. So rather than having a maximum number of days off, we actually have a recommended minimum vacation of 20 days a year. Take time off when you need it and also just when you feel like it.
- Extremely Flexible Parental Leave: We are proud to offer an extremely flexible 12 weeks of parental leave — for any parent regardless of gender and for birth, adoption, surrogacy, or fostering. Take the 12 weeks all at once, or split up days to slowly transition back to work — we’re accommodating to everyone’s different situations! Birth mothers also qualify for an additional 6 weeks of medical leave.
- Design Your Dream Home Office: We are a remote first company. About half of our team currently lives outside of New York and across 5 different time zones. So if you need some stuff to make working from home a bit easier, we offer a $1000 stipend for anything you need to get comfortable.
- Cozy Office in Brooklyn, Wooo!: If you do happen to live in the New York area (or you want an excuse to visit) you can come into our beautiful office in Williamsburg. Coming into office is entirely optional, some of us come almost every day and some of us come in once a week. No obligation, we just genuinely like each other!
Company values
- Show up with heartfelt intensity
