"This is a place for builders who love solving hard problems without the fluff. We keep things simple: we focus on what actually works today instead of chasing perfection. We ignore the hype to forge our own path, we value time and direct action, and we build trust by being consistent and transparent."

Webshare: Practical in Approach, Ambitious in Vision
Webshare is a proxy infrastructure provider built around self-service access, allowing anyone to sign up and start using the product immediately without sales calls, contracts, or approval processes. Focusing on the entry-level segment, Webshare supports solopreneurs, prosumers, consultants, small businesses, and developers who want to test ideas before committing money by giving them access to infrastructure normally reserved for much larger operations.
Open access to the public web
Reliable web data access has traditionally been easier for companies with larger budgets. They could negotiate contracts, manage longer onboarding processes, and invest in the infrastructure they needed. For independent developers and small teams, getting access could be more difficult. Webshare set out to make that simpler. The idea was straightforward: anyone should be able to get a proxy connection in minutes.
Built for everyone, proven at scale
- 100,000+ active paying customers
- 3 million+ users who used the free plan
- 650B+ Monthly proxy requests
- 80M+ ethically sourced Residential IPs
Turning problems into progress
At Webshare, engineers and operators work in a collaborative environment where clear ownership and async communication take priority over lengthy debate. Problems get solved by testing, measuring, and adjusting, and everyone is expected to share context openly and favor done over perfect.
Build at the frontier of data and intelligence
At Webshare, that means:
- Taking end-to-end ownership in a lean, flat team.
- Solving problems through testing, measuring, and fast iteration.
- Letting real usage data guide decisions and priorities.
- Working async by default, managing your time and flagging blockers early.
- Working with strong peers across a small, global team spanning six countries.
- Moving quickly, favoring done over perfect, and avoiding unnecessary bureaucracy.
