About us
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.

We care deeply about the planet, and we want to do our bit to preserve it for future generations. The more people use us, the more we can do, so each month:
Val - Founder & CEO
Val has been tinkering on his own projects since he learned how to code. On Thankbox he does a bit of everything - working on new features, answering customer emails and constantly thinking about how to make it even more awesome. He enjoys practicing martial arts - currently Tang Soo Do - and coming up with fun games to play with his daughter.
Barbara - Designer
Barbara is responsible for all our designs, branding, UX, UI, interfaces, themes, and anything else that's visual. 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.
Joe - Developer
Our coding guru and chief bug-squasher. Joe knows all there is to know about how to make a website awesome. He got the first version of Thankbox off the ground in just a couple of months and has been working on making it better ever since. In his spare time, Joe enjoys heavy metal, craft beer, powerlifting, and spending quality time at home with his two beautiful cats (and fiancée).
