Fetch
Consumer rewards app (formerly Fetch Rewards): scan receipts, earn points for gift cards. 12.5M+ monthly users. Madison, WI. ~700 employees. Reached a $2.5B valuation.
What is Fetch?
Fetch (formerly Fetch Rewards) is one of the most popular consumer rewards apps in the US. Shoppers snap a photo of any receipt, and Fetch awards points that can be redeemed for gift cards and other rewards. Brands and retailers pay Fetch for the resulting first-party purchase data and for the ability to run targeted offers, which is how the app can pay users for something as simple as uploading a receipt; the business.fetch.com site is the brand-and-partner side of that two-sided model. Wes Schroll founded the company while a student at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, launching Fetch Rewards in 2013 (he had started building the concept the prior year). The app processes millions of receipts per day from more than 12.5 million monthly active users and around 6 million daily active users. Headquartered in Madison, Wisconsin, Fetch has grown to roughly 700 employees, raised over half a billion dollars in capital, and reached a $2.5B valuation in its 2022 round backed by SoftBank's Vision Fund among others. As CEO Wes Schroll has publicly recounted, the business nearly collapsed early on before the receipt-scanning model took off and turned it into a multibillion-dollar company.
Mission & values
Reward people for everyday shopping and give brands a direct, trusted connection to their customers, turning the humble receipt into value for both sides.
Qualifications
Fetch hires full-time employees across engineering (mobile, backend, distributed systems, machine learning and computer vision for receipt recognition, data platform, security, frontend), product, design, data science, brand partnerships and sales, account management, customer support, marketing, finance, legal, and people operations. Machine-learning and computer-vision roles matter because the core product depends on accurately reading messy, real-world receipt photos at scale. Application flow lives at fetch.com/careers. Fetch is remote-friendly with a Madison, Wisconsin headquarters and a Chicago presence; many US roles are remote or hybrid, though some prefer hub proximity. Note the distinction between working at Fetch (a salaried tech job) and using Fetch (the consumer app), which is a supplemental points-for-receipts earning tool rather than employment.
