About us
Send faxes without owning a fax machine - straightforward, transparent and ready to use immediately.
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 realised 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, finding 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 - send faxes. No frills, no subscription, no mandatory registration. Simply upload, 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 remains the official communication channel in many areas.
The problem: very few people still have a fax machine at home. And anyone who needs to send a fax only once a year does 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 faxing 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 wanted 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 costs. The price is clear beforehand, the transmission report comes by email. That is how simple faxing should be.
