About the company
We are waiting Focusing only on the essentials, the commerce brand Pesul continues to grow every year. We are looking for talented individuals to grow together. We Are What You’ve Been Looking For Pesul (페슬) started from the hearts of consumers tired of unrelatable products and marketing. Therefore, we create differentiated experiences and relationships that customers can remember for a long time, rather than focusing on short-term results. Our ability to grow organically without external investment, achieving over 200% growth each year, comes from our focus on core values and essence without wasting time on unnecessary tasks. We believe that individual growth leads to company growth, and we are looking for talents who will grow together and open up greater possibilities. We are a consumer goods startup operating brands in completely unprecedented ways in their respective fields, such as the inner beauty brand 'Near', the scientifically-backed pet brand Stamfood, and Nightly Night for comfortable nights and relaxation. Our flagship brand, Near, has quickly grown to become the most beloved inner beauty brand in Korea, achieving daily sales of 100 million KRW on its launch day through word of mouth. Additionally, in 2025, we will launch the catchphrase 'Twice a day' in collaboration with TWICE's Sana, opening in over 9,000 offline stores in Japan, including Matsumoto Kiyoshi, Welcia, and Loft, making it the first health functional food in Korea to do so. We are also receiving love calls from the United States, Europe, and Southeast Asia, aiming to expand to over 50 countries worldwide by 2026. Since our establishment in 2021, we have grown over 200% each year, operating the business solely with our own funds without external investments or loans. This background allows all members to focus on the most critical tasks under the principle of 'maximizing revenue, minimizing costs,' avoiding unnecessary time spent in other areas. We believe that individual growth is company growth. Our company is operated mainly by members in their late 20s to early 30s who may lack experience but are humble and passionate about learning. We are growing in our own way by quickly adapting to rapidly changing consumer trends rather than relying on established success formulas. --- [What You Can Gain from Pesul] ● The thrill of rapid growth The company is growing quickly due to the competitive nature of its members. ● A stress-free organizational culture We have a healthy culture with no unnecessary pressure among members. ● Stability from a sound financial state Since its establishment, Pesul has been growing steadily without any external funding, loans, or borrowing. ● A worry-free work life Pesul minimizes typical work-life concerns with an office just 10 seconds on foot from Gangnam Station, providing lunch allowances, flexible working hours, and a horizontal organizational culture. --- [Introduction to Our Flagship Brands] ● Near 'Near is near you' Near is the number one inner beauty brand in South Korea, possessing trendiness and product quality that cannot be found in existing inner beauty products.
