Page Text: Our Mission
To transform lives and economies by empowering everyone to build and control their own business without compromise.
We believe everyone should be free to chart their own path and that everyone has a right to the tools required to do so.
Our Values
Autonomy
Our end product is independence. We solve open-ended problems, and work wherever, whenever we want. We trust each other to figure things out, or to reach out if we need help.
Generosity
Sharing is a part of our moral code. From our belief in open source to our willingness to jump in and lend expertise whenever a colleague or customer needs it, we openly volunteer knowledge because the more we all know, the further we all get.
Curiosity
If we don’t know, we find out. We’re resourceful in following a question until we find the answer, and the most important question is “What if?”
Transparency
Everyone here knows what the big plan is. Everyone here has access to every piece of work and communication. Every part of our code is out there for the world to see.
Ambition
We have big goals as a company, and this is a place where you can take initiative and run with it.
