Overview
Guru is on a mission to reinvent the way people connect with information at work. Our knowledge management solution provides teams with expert-verified information where they work and when they need it most.

At Guru, we know that talent is everywhere. We support remote and hybrid models of work, with our headquarters in Philadelphia and employees spread across 20 states.
