Aptoma is a B2B SaaS company, fully owned by our staff with no external investors. Our core business revolves around licensing our SaaS services.

About the Teams

DrEdition is all about automating editorial workflows. We make tools that help journalists and editors focus on what they do best: creating content. Our platform has reimagined print production inside the browser - and yes, print is still a big deal. For most media companies, daily editions still account for over 50% of revenue.

DrPublish is our article production system. It’s used daily by thousands of journalists. The tech stack is solid (PHP 8.x, MySQL 8.x, AWS), but we’ve got legacy parts to improve and big ambitions for the next version. If that sounds fun to you - great. We’re not looking for someone to keep the lights on; we want someone who wants to rebuild the house.

Financial Status

We’re profitable, debt-free, and 100% owned by people who work here.
