Henning Kruthaup
Founder & 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 had to send a fax himself and did not have a fax machine, the search for a simple solution was frustrating. Complicated sign-ups, opaque pricing, unnecessary subscriptions, there had to be a better way.
FaxMonkey is the result, a service that does exactly what it is supposed to do, send faxes. No frills, no subscription, no registration requirement. Simply upload the document, pay, done.
Our mission
Does faxing sound old-fashioned? Perhaps. But the reality is 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 if you only need to send a fax once a year, you do not want to sign up for a subscription or struggle with complicated software.
Our vision
A world where nobody has to buy a fax machine or take out a subscription just to fax a document once. We believe sending a fax should be as easy as sending an email, and that is exactly what we make possible.
The story behind FaxMonkey
FaxMonkey did not start as a business idea but from a concrete problem. As an entrepreneur I regularly had to send documents by fax, cancellations, documents for authorities, contracts. But owning a fax machine felt anachronistic.
Existing online fax services had the same issues. They pushed me into a subscription, required registration or had opaque pricing structures. I just wanted to send a single fax, why did it have to be so complicated?
So we built FaxMonkey, a service that does exactly what users need. Upload a document, enter the number, pay, done. No registration, no subscription, no hidden costs. The price is clear upfront and the transmission report arrives by email. That is how faxing should be.
