About us
Our story
Passing a paper card around was always a hassle. Then 2020 happened and you couldn’t even do that.
One morning in March 2020 our founder, Val, was thinking about this seed of an idea he'd had for remote group cards a couple of years ago. He decided that if there ever was a time to do it, it was now.
He quickly assembled a small, awesome team to put it together. They all believed in and loved the idea and worked quickly to build it.
The first version of Thankbox went live 2 months later in May. The vision of it has not changed since the first time Val wrote it down - a simple, fun way to create a group card and collect for a gift online. Simplicity and fun continue to be at the center of everything we do.
Our sustainability pledge
We love planet Earth! By sending a Thankbox you are helping preserve it for future generations.
- No plastic or paper, and zero CO2 emissions.
- We plant a tree for every 10 Thankboxes sent, via Treepoints.
- To date we've planted enough trees to fill over 170 tennis courts. Ace.
The team

Val has been tinkering on his own projects since he learned how to code.

He enjoys practicing martial arts - currently Tang Soo Do - and coming up with fun games to play with his daughter.

She started work on Thankbox after five years designing marketing and e-commerce campaigns at PlayStation, and is constantly inspired by all our users spreading kindness and joy. Off-screen she enjoys long walks in nature, and tending to her perhaps too many plants.
