We’re a quickly growing venture-backed startup re-imagining the Hollywood production studio as a local marketplace. We enable all visual storytellers, regardless of background and budget, to become their own studio with access to world-class gear and services. Today we are the largest rental marketplace and community for gear rentals, and Forbes and Fast Company have called us "the AirBNB of cameras."​ But that's just the tip of the iceberg. Ultimately we're building a one-stop shop for visual content creators to get everything they need including gear and production services. We already have tens of thousands of customers including big industry players like NBC, Conde Nast Entertainment, Hearst, Above Average, and Jigsaw. Backed by Hearst, Lorne Michael's Broadway Video, Mike Krieger (cofounder of Instagram), and more. Read our latest coverage in TechCrunch: https://techcrunch.com/2018/02/21/kitsplit-seed-funding/ We are looking for high-caliber, visionary, creative, and genuine people to build their careers with us, and we're hiring!
