About Gomry
Gomry is an AI-native event platform that's targeting the $400B annual advertising budget that goes into events.
We're building a proprietary AI-native ad network that installs on our own and third-party ticketing platforms, with placements that are ultra-native for the event industry. This enables event organizers and small ticketing platforms worldwide to easily monetize through digital sponsorships without lifting a finger, and without ruining the UX.
We're profitable with ~70,000 monthly active users and backed by investors from Google, Z Fellows, BeReal, Meta, Klarna, Stripe, AppLovin and Bending Spoons.
As a small team, we’re all generalists and are constantly picking up new challenges. When it comes to code, we’re looking to work with people who can pick a problem and solve it. We use TypeScript and build scalable systems so we can continuously make progress on a solid foundation. We don’t expect you to have a background in everything we use, but we do expect good JavaScript fundamentals, experience building backend services, and a strong desire to learn.
Our Company Culture and Values:
1 - Customer obsession and mindblowing user experience
Our success heavily depends on the value we provide to our customers. In a world that is so competitive and noisy, the only way to stand out is not just by offering a decent experience, but by delivering a mind-blowing one. We will not succeed widely if customers don’t decide that we deserve to succeed widely.
2 - We are in the business of building something unique
It’s good to learn what customers already find valuable. But we don’t compare ourselves to others. We are in the business of building something great and unique. Not “gaining market share” or “beating competitors.” We may end up getting that, but that’s not the way we think about it.
3 - Long-term thinking
Ben Graham famously said that in the short term, the market is a voting machine, driven by sentiment and trends. But in the long term, it's a weighing machine, valuing substance and sustainability. We’re a company that wants to be weighed, and over time, we will be—over the long term, all companies are. In the meantime, we have our heads down working to build a heavier and heavier company. When you think long-term, you do things differently. We live in a world that’s heavily focused on the short-term, and time-horizon arbitrage is one of the biggest opportunities that exists in business today.
4 - We are a product-oriented company, because the product is our most important marketing tool.
Our product is the first impression we make with potential new customers and the reputation we maintain with existing ones. Because of the nature of our product, the highest-impact growth initiatives will always be product-led.
5 - Detail obsession
We are in the business of building amazing products. Every decision, whether good or bad, impacts hundreds of thousands of people and our relationship with them. We believe that “bad” is not the enemy of “great” because bad is simply bad. “Good” is actually the true enemy of “great” because good is not good enough. Perfect is good enough.
6 - It’s always Day 1
Day 1 is a mindset—staying hungry, focused, and relentless. Day 2 is an 'arrived' mindset, complacent, taking success or things working for granted, leading to stasis, irrelevance, painful decline, and ultimately, death. That’s how companies die. At Gomry is always and will always be Day 1. Always excited about what comes next, always striving to improve and figure out new ways to improve our customers' lives.
7 - We move FAST
Compounding daily, rather than weekly or monthly, makes a massive difference in the long term. Slowness anywhere justifies slowness everywhere.
8 - We act and think like owners, because we are
We treat Gomry as if it’s our own—because it is. Every employee has equity, access to company data, and the autonomy to act. Along with ownership comes both freedom and responsibility: we trust each other to act in Gomry’s best interest.
When we see something broken, we fix it. When we spend a company dollar, we treat it like our own. If something’s on the floor, we pick it up.
We ask ourselves: Do we make decisions that will benefit the company 10 or 20 years from now? Are we building an institution that will outlast us? That’s the owner’s attitude.

How we work
We maximize for trust in our builders. Teams set their own rhythms, communicate directly, and keep meetings to a minimum. There are few distractions, and a shared respect for uninterrupted focus. Deep thinking time is treated as something worth protecting. We believe that quality compounds when work has time to develop
At Gomry that means:
Small teams, clear ownership. One to two people is typical. Teams assemble around a project and disband when done. Project leads rotate. Often engineers or designers lead.
One product team, one roadmap. We do not use OKRs or run A/B tests. We align on a north star and make decisions with judgment, customer insight, and taste.
Protect quality. We keep a zero-bugs policy. Bugs get fixed now, not later. We review a weekly bug dashboard to rebalance load and spot patterns.
Practice the craft. We train the team to see what is off. More than 1,000 small fixes over two years have raised the bar and changed how we build in the first place. Feature roasts help us ship with better judgment.
Use constraints. Constraints create clarity. We ask why a feature matters, why now, and for whom. We keep the bar high by saying no.
Stay close to customers. We build what customers need, we treat customer requests as input, not instructions.
At Gomry, we believe the best products come from strong opinions informed by customer reality. Customer feedback serves as the whetstone that sharpens intuition, rather than the source of product vision.
We want Gomry to be a haven for self-motivated individual contributors.
People generally just make things happen through their own enthusiasm and force of will rather than rely on managers to do their bidding.
People at Gomry study the world as they move through it, rather than rely exclusively on their own personal experience for all their context and idea-generation. It makes the team particularly good at finding elegant solutions to many shapes of problems.
Take responsibility for bugs. Mistakes happen, but every bug we ship to users is a disappointment.
Building the Bridge: Silicon Valley & Argentina
We are deeply invested in the Argentinian ecosystem. We believe in connecting the highest agency talent in Argentina with the opportunity and pace of San Francisco.
Patrick Turricelli, Gomry’s co-founder, has already traveled to Argentina twice to spend deep work time hacking alongside our engineering team. Beyond just code, we are there to cultivate a community of ambitious builders and technical minds. We are actively building a bridge between Silicon Valley and Argentina to empower technical people to do their best work.
