About notus

We're here to help founders and entrepreneurs consistently publish engaging content.

Many startups see the value of personal branding and storytelling.

However, they struggle to find their voice, can't come up with the right strategy, barely find the time to produce, and lack consistency.

At notus, we build content engines for purpose-driven founders and entrepreneurs.

We capture their authentic voice through natural conversations (Content Calls) and podcasts, turning their raw expertise and unique story into content that builds brand equity and attracts the right people.

notus is young and growing fast.

Our roots are in New York City where we had the privilege to work with some of the biggest personal brands on the planet.

Now operating mainly out of Berlin, we are 100% bootstrapped.

This means that our #1 priority is to delight our customers and curate a network of purpose-driven founders who want to make an impact.

Anyone who joins our team has the opportunity to build relationships with our roster of innovative founders, VCs, and Entrepreneurs.

In addition, we support you in building your own personal brand.

We're looking for entrepreneurial, bright-minded people who love telling stories and want to be part of this exciting ride to becoming a big media house.
