The Proust Team

We share our office with folks from Vimeo, The Daily Beast, Pronto, and plenty more. And we even share some of our team. But most importantly, we all share a love for helping people connect in meaningful ways.

We hope you love the service we've built — we sure do.

Meet the team

Lindsay Anmuth

Which hobby would you pursue if you had more time?

"Taking a life drawing class has been on my to-do list for a while. And I would be more than happy to fill any extra time with plenty of yoga and reading."
