Values

Communication

There is power in writing things down. We see transparency as part of this.

• It creates clear and deep thought.
• It is usually clearer than a conversation, so everyone can row in the same direction.
• It is very leveraged as we grow a large community and look to hire people around the world.

Results

Everyone should help everyone else raise their game.

• Fatigue sets in when you complete a task. It's easier for outsiders to help those creating the work to raise their game.

• We are direct about the quality of work. That doesn't always mean work needs to be completely polished. It also concerns:

  • The speed of a task.
  • The validity of a task in helping the company move forward.
  • The impact of a task.

Iteration

If given a choice, go live. If you can't go live, reduce the task size so you can.

• We are small, and can only win based on speed and agility.
• Going live forces a level of completion, on which you can build.
