Do not state that any specific role is open. ## Our story, the founders and the rules (full page: https://www.kaivo.in/pages/about) - Founders: Vedika (built Alyssa Fine Jewellery for ten years) and Ariha (built the bespoke gifting studio ASthetics). They had known each other six years before starting KAIVO and went from a conversation to a brand with a name and first samples in five months. - Why it exists: people had been sold specialty coffee as a study, a vocabulary to acquire. KAIVO is a short, considered range for the cup you settle on. The brand carries the depth, the customer carries only the pleasure. - The name: KAIVO / Ky-voh / noun, a well of water in Finnish, a source you return to. One animal, one blend, one feeling. - Giving back: as KAIVO grows, part of its profits will go toward wildlife conservation. - The rules: A range that does not grow. Five blends, forever. When a new one enters, an old one retires. The catalogue never sprawls. Subscription is the architecture. Not an upsell. Try a few, find your one, let it arrive without thought. Then we leave you alone. No seasonal drops. No countdown timers. The brand earns attention by being the same, every time the bag arrives. ## Find your blend quiz (https://www.kaivo.in/pages/find-your-blend) 1. Do you already know your coffee? No / Yes.
