About Us

In 1914, Antarctic explorer Ernest Shackleton posted an ad for a job in London that read, "Men wanted for hazardous journey. Low wages, bitter cold, long hours of complete darkness. Safe return doubtful. Honour and recognition in event of success."

While our wages are not low and we are not limiting our hiring to men only, we believe in the sentiment Shackleton expressed.

Commenda is a dedicated company aiming to build products and services that protect the free world and end the Democracy Tax. We are the world's best platform for businesses to interact with governments globally. We are venture-backed and ambitious.

Requirements
