About us
Send faxes without owning a fax machine, straightforward, transparent and ready to go.
Henning Kruthaup
Founder and Managing Director
Henning Kruthaup is an entrepreneur from Berlin and founder of Growthpaca GmbH. With a business degree from Missouri State University (cum laude, 2006) and over 15 years of experience building digital businesses, he has already delivered several successful projects.
The idea for FaxMonkey came from personal experience: when he needed to send a fax and did not have a fax machine, the search for a simple solution was frustrating. Complicated sign-up processes, opaque pricing, unnecessary subscriptions, there had to be a better way.
FaxMonkey is the result, a service that does exactly what it should do - send faxes. No frills, no subscription, no forced registration. Simply upload the document, pay, done.
Our mission
Faxing sounds old-fashioned? Maybe. But reality looks different: millions of documents are sent by fax every day, to authorities, courts, medical practices, lawyers and companies. Fax is still the official communication channel in many areas.
The problem is that very few people still have a fax machine at home. And anyone who only needs to send a fax once a year does not want to sign up for a subscription or wrestle with complicated software.
Our vision
A world where no one needs to buy a fax machine or sign up for a subscription just to fax a document once. We believe sending a fax should be as simple as sending an email, and that is exactly what we make possible.
The story behind FaxMonkey
FaxMonkey did not arise from a business idea but from a concrete problem. As an entrepreneur I regularly had to send documents by fax, cancellations, official documents, contracts. But owning a fax machine? That felt anachronistic.
Existing online fax services all had the same problem: they tried to push me into a subscription, required registration or had opaque pricing. I just wanted to send a fax once, why did it have to be so complicated?
So we built FaxMonkey, a service that does exactly what users need. Upload document, enter number, pay, done. No registration, no subscription, no hidden costs. The price is fixed upfront, the transmission report arrives by email. That is how faxing should be.
