The Push-Up Cups Team

what you should know about us

We are a high - energy, passionate, and diverse team dedicated to making everyday a celebration! Our belief is that one of life’s greatest gifts is the time we get to spend with the ones we love most. But in today’s world, plagued with the stresses of #adulting and masked behind a screen of #filters, we felt those special moments slipping away. As such, we decided to make it our mission to revolutionize
the celebration!

Bringing back that feeling of freedom, connection, and pure joy from our earlier years, but in a product that has the quality and values of our now adult life, we re-invented the frat house favorite, in a fun, exciting, and stylish catalyst for connection. A way to bring everyone together, to feel that sense of freedom and joy, and to create memories that will last a lifetime!

As a female-founded and female-led company, we believe in lifting people up and making sure every voice is heard — from our team to our customers. At our core, we’re entrepreneurs, and we know that creating the best experience starts with empowering our employees to take initiative and lead the way in shaping the future of Push-Up Cups.

We also believe a thriving company begins with thriving people. That’s why we encourage our team to put their wellness first and keep a healthy balance between work and life. When our employees can show up as their best selves, everyone wins.

The epitome of grit, perseverance, and resilience — that’s who we are here at Push-Up Cups. Our founder built this business from the ground up, literally giving her blood, sweat, and tears to make Push-Up Cups a reality.

It was far from an easy journey, but the one thing that has enabled us to thrive is tenacity. We refuse to give up. We have been told “no” more times than you can imagine. But as a company, we face adversity head-on. Rather than surrendering, we take those no’s, those hardships, and those obstacles — and use them to fuel our drive to greatness.

If we could choose just one core value for our organization, TENACITY would be it!

Diversity of thought, background, and experience makes each of us unique. Here at Push-Up Cups, we’re committed to creating a space where every team member can bring their authentic self to work and make their voice heard every day.

We believe true representation and equality matter — because it’s through the beauty of each person’s unique perspective that we’re able to do our best work as a team and as a company.

We believe that, above all else, kindness and empathy come first. We celebrate and respect one another. We may disagree or see things differently at times, but we always choose to lead with kindness.

When we act with kindness, we create space to understand, to learn, and to grow — often ending up in a better place than where we started.

Our mission is to revolutionize the way people celebrate, and to do that well, we have to treat our employees, our customers, and ourselves with the highest level of kindness.

Innovation is at the heart of who we are. Every person on our team is encouraged to think differently, bring new ideas, and keep pushing the boundaries.

One of the best things about being a startup is that we get to write our own playbook. We’re not stuck in “this is how it’s always been done” or held back by layers of tradition. Every day, we challenge ourselves to grow, to work smarter, and to give our customers the very best.

Innovation touches everything we do — from the products we create and the packaging they come in to how we collaborate, build, and share our work with the world. It’s not just part of the job; innovation is in our DNA.

We’re on a mission to revolutionize the way people celebrate — and we couldn’t do that without making celebration one of our core values. From the little victories to the game-changing milestones, here at Push-Up Cups, we believe in celebrating it all!

We celebrate each other, we celebrate our customers, we celebrate our differences, and we celebrate every win along the way. Life is simply more fun when you make room to celebrate often!
