About Gaia

Gaia is on a mission to make it easy for everyone to save, spend, and invest for a sustainable future. In order to tackle sustainability problems such as climate change, gender equality, and global health, money is going to be an important tool.

With our customers at the heart of every decision, we are building products that help people achieve financial freedom while making a positive impact on the world. Investing is hard enough on its own. Investing for a better world is 10x harder. That's why our first product is an impact-investing app that helps people invest in causes that matter to them, available across iOS and desktop.

Recently, we raised our pre-seed round and are getting ready to launch later this year. However, we need more people to help us achieve our mission.

Gaia is headquartered at the heart of Copenhagen, Denmark close to Kgs. Nytorv. However, we are remote-first so you have the option to work from home.
