CORE VALUES LISTEN FIRST

We believe in empowering and delighting our customers. The biggest part of that is listening to them, when they’re happy, and when they’re frustrated. Before making any hard decision, listen to different points of view, collect as much insight as possible, and move forward with conviction. Don’t bring the ego in the building.

ALWAYS LEARN

“One who carries a cat by the tail learns something one can learn in no other way.”

-Mark Twain

Failure is embraced as long as you learn something from it.

We believe in curiosity and first-principles reasoning. All ideas are welcome, and debate is embraced. We aim for clarity of thought and collecting diverse points of view from our team and our customers.

KEEP IT SIMPLE

“Stock is the backbone of good cooking. Just roast some bones, roast some vegetables, put them in a big pot with water, and reduce and reduce and reduce.”

-Anthony Bourdain

Whether cooking, writing a book or managing your workload, boiling ideas down to their essence, and bringing elegant simplicity to complex systems are the backbones of operational excellence.

DREAM BIG

Our mission is bold, so our dreams need to be big too. Even when we tackle small tasks, we do it because they unlock bigger things.
