The Company:

Wolfe LLC is an e-commerce company, located in Pittsburgh, PA, focused on next-generation gifting business models.

We are well known for being the company that started the first coupon website in 1995 which sold to a public company in 2000, at the peak of the dot-com era, when we were delivering 20 million page views per month. We then built Direct Response Technologies; grew it to 70 employees; and sold it to Digital River in 2006. We spun off Jambo Media with our tech team and sold it to Undertone in 2012. We built and focused on GiftCards.com from 2006 to 2016 and sold it to Blackhawk Network. We had over 100 employees.

Since 2016, our focus has been Gift Card Granny, PerfectGift, GiftYa, and Give InKind and Reaf Marketing. We have roughly 170 employees and contractors. We are experiencing triple-digit growth year over year for 4 years, thankfully. Our organization is committed to a positive work environment, and we prioritize our culture to continue to facilitate our high performance as a cohesive culturally enlightened team. We use OfficeVibe, Bonusly, and other leading tools to ensure our cultural initiatives are effective and productive.
