About us
Send faxes without owning a fax machine, straightforward, transparent and ready to use immediately.
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 realised several successful projects.
The idea for FaxMonkey arose 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-up processes, opaque pricing, unnecessary subscriptions - this could be better.
FaxMonkey is the result, a service that does exactly what it is supposed to do - send faxes. No frills, no subscription, no registration compulsion. Simply upload document, pay, done.
Our mission
Does faxing sound old-fashioned? Perhaps. But 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: very few people still have a fax machine at home. And if you need to send a fax only once a year, you do not want to sign up for a subscription or struggle with complicated software.
Our vision
A world where no one needs to buy a fax machine or take out 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 originate 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 myself seemed anachronistic.
The existing online fax services all had the same issue: they tried to push me into a subscription, required registration or had opaque pricing structures. 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 charges. The price is fixed upfront, the transmission report comes by email. That is how faxing should be.
