What is ShortStack?

ShortStack is an all-in-one contest and lead-generation platform built for businesses of every size. Since 2009, the Reno-founded company has grown to serve over 50,000 businesses globally — now operating as a bootstrapped, fully remote team.

The platform covers two core areas: viral campaign tools (giveaways, sweepstakes, UGC contests, instant-win games, voting contests, and social campaigns) and website engagement tools (quizzes, reward wheels, exit pop-ups, lead magnets, contact forms, newsletter signups, and hashtag galleries).

ShortStack is rated ★★★★½ on G2 (4.5) and ★★★★½ on Capterra (4.4) — a reflection of the team's commitment to product quality and customer support.

A team that actually lives
the balance it preaches.

ShortStack doesn't just list work-life balance as a perk — it restructured how the whole company operates around it. The team moved to 100% remote before formally adopting the 4-day week.

"I'm a fan of the (hopefully lasting) culture shift toward flexible hours and remote work — letting people be more responsible for their own work."

Adam P. — ShortStack Team

"Our CEO is letting folks work from home a couple of days a week. Now that's compassionate leadership!"
