About the founders:

Crux was founded by brothers Jacob and Nathan Bennett, London natives now based in the U.S. Jacob is kept on his toes by his two young children, while Nathan occasionally moonlights as a ski instructor. Family and friends are the most important thing in our lives, but cooking and eating good food comes in a close second. We believe in audacity without arrogance, pushing each other to be better, and embracing mistakes (and their comedic value). We’re building a company where people come first—because at the end of the day, people are what matter most.
