About Verblio (formerly BlogMutt)

We’re Verblio: a unique content writing startup in Boulder, CO. Content is the foundation of successful customer acquisition marketing for businesses today. And content effectively means time, resources, and talent. Many companies simply can’t compete against the larger players in the new digital marketing era.

That’s where we come in.

By building a network of over 3,000 professional writers, we have the resources for modern businesses to outsource their content needs.

To do all of this, we’ve created a high-performing SaaS startup in Boulder led by a 15-year crowdsourcing industry veteran and staffed by a team of 11 energetic, eclectic startup junkies (degrees on our team range from philosophy, to economics, to Latin American history).

We work hard, have fun, learn a lot, and are proud of our transparent, collaborative culture. We also believe in doing good, and that creating great opportunities for home-based writers is just as important as helping our clients find their next customer.

This year we won our fourth Mercury 100 award as one of the fastest growing companies in the Boulder Valley in the past couple of years, and we’re looking for talented individuals to help us scale to the next level.
