Instapaper is operated in the suburbs of New York City. Phone interviews are often available, schedule-permitting, during the US-Eastern day. Please email to set up a phone interview if necessary.

Background

Instapaper was founded in January, 2008 and became an instant hit for its simple, one-field registration form. When the App Store for the iPhone launched in July, 2008, the official Instapaper app was critically acclaimed and doubled Instapaper’s userbase in its first month. In April 2010, the Instapaper app for iPad was available from the iPad’s launch day and has been incredibly popular since.

Instapaper currently has approximately 1 million registered user accounts.

Instapaper, LLC is entirely self-funded by Marco Arment, is profitable, and has not taken any outside investment.

Instapaper for iPhone and iPad promotional codes (promo codes)

Apple limits the number of promotional (“promo”) codes to 50 per application version, and Instapaper gets far more requests than that, so they are generally available on a first-come, first-served basis, within these guidelines:

• Instapaper does not offer extra codes for giveaways. (There just aren’t enough.)
• Instapaper reserves some of the 50 codes for unplanned use.
• Instapaper reserves the right to refuse promo-code requests for any reason.
