Awards and Recognition

At Inspiration, we pride ourselves on being a great place to work. In 2021, we were honored at the DC Inno on Fire Awards as a company that is poised to "explode into a raging success, disrupting its industry and creating a corporate legacy." We were also named to the top spot on Technical.ly's "RealLIST Startups  of the top 20 companies to keep your eye on in 2023".

Where and How We Work

Today, our CEO and about half of our team is based in DC. The other half is remote and lives across the country. Our DC team works at home Mondays and Fridays and is in our office near Dupont Circle Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday because the opportunity for us to collaborate in person is invaluable.  

  • If a role is listed as in Washington, DC, you will work with your colleagues 3 days per week. These roles are on teams where the leader and most team members are in the DC office and you will be most effective if everyone is in the same location. 
  • If a role is listed as Remote Eligible, it means you can live/work in DC or elsewhere. However, if you live in the DC area, you will be expected to be in the office with us Tuesday-Thursday and you will not be eligible to work remotely.
