The Org

The Org runs a web platform that publishes organizational charts of companies, presenting leadership hierarchies, teams, offices and open positions in an interactive, browsable format. Company profiles include a description, industry tags, headquarters location, employee-size band, follower counts and links, and can be claimed and verified so that companies control how their team is displayed. The site states it hosts the world's largest network of public org charts and lets users explore charts by country, industry and employee range; its explore page cites access to the org charts of more than 800,000 companies, with country-level counts including 940,897 in the United States, 220,119 in the United Kingdom and 179,824 in India.

Alongside the org-chart database, The Org publishes editorial content, including recurring "Executive Moves" round-ups of leadership changes across companies and an "Org of the Week" company feature. Its own profile on the platform lists industries of Internet and Professional Networking, headquarters in New York, an employee band of 1-10, offices in Copenhagen and New York, internal teams (Community, Leadership, Revenue, User and Data squads), and board members/advisors Martin Hauge and Heini Zachariassen.

Founding story

Co-founder and CEO Christian Wylonis has written that the idea came in the summer of 2017 after he read an article in The Information, "The People Who Matter at Airbnb," which presented Airbnb's top ~70 people as an expandable org chart. The piece spread both outside and inside Airbnb, where employees debated omissions and errors, suggesting to Wylonis that making org charts public and editable changed their value. He pitched the concept to Andreas Jarbøl, with whom he had previously founded Fitbay, a startup addressing online clothing sizing that raised venture funding, did not find product-market fit and shut down in 2015. The two Danish founders built a prototype within a few weeks. The company's about page dates the founding to November 2017.

Business model

The Org offers a free sign-up ("Start for free") consumer/professional product built around publicly accessible org charts, with company profiles that organizations can claim and verify. The available sources do not describe paid tiers or pricing.

Sources do not state how The Org monetizes; a third-party data provider estimates annual revenue of about $3.5 million and roughly $110,200 in revenue per employee.

Traction

Reported growth from more than 15,000 org charts in December 2019 to 130,000 public org charts in late 2021, and a stated user base of more than 1 million as of the current site. The explore page cites access to more than 800,000 companies' org charts, while listed per-country and per-employee-range counts total substantially more.

Latest developments

The site's most recent listed articles are dated February 18, 2026 ("Org of the Week: Kalogon" and an "Executive Moves" round-up) and February 4, 2026. The Org's own profile page shows open roles for Head of Operations and Chief of Staff.
