About Us

Founded in 2019 in a cozy 500-square-foot apartment in Brooklyn, NY, Ruoom began as a two-person operation with a big vision and plenty of late nights. Today, we’re based in Austin, TX, and have grown from that small founding team to a crew of 20. In early 2023, we celebrated a major milestone: opening our first international office in Seoul, South Korea.

Like many small businesses we’ve worked with, we’re 100% bootstrapped. What started as a Microsoft Paint sketch in a tiny apartment has become a full-fledged software product, supporting small business owners across two countries. We’ve even filed for a patent, a step that felt light-years away when we first began.

But as Ruoom grew, so did our purpose. We realized that to truly build for the future, we wanted to find a way to support you, our customer, that goes beyond building tools for you and focuses on building tools with you. We’re excited to provide resources, expert guidance, DIY options, and custom-built solutions as unique as your business.
