Company
Font Awesome
Icons and social logos for your website.
We build a simple line of code you add to your website to get thousands of icons and social logos instantly. Our product makes it easy for developers and designers to integrate consistent and scalable icons without wrestling with graphics or licensing.
We live and work in Bentonville, AR, and Joplin, MO, with a team distributed remotely. After YC, we would remain distributed but use YC resources and network as a base to scale.
Our team is spread out and we value remote collaboration. We're comfortable working across these locations and don't need to relocate, but we want to join YC to connect, grow, and learn from the community.
