Our Values

Curiosity - Courage - Collaboration

According to the book blitzscaling, a diverse company is defined as a place where people have the same cause, some values and different backgrounds. Though these values mean something different to everyone, they remain the main drivers in our decision making process (Rule 2) and are central to how we behave.

Curiosity

We believe in the intrinsic motivation to explore, keep asking questions and seek first to understand is what drives us. Ultimately it is curiosity that makes us seek out new horizons and go above and beyond. We experiment, have fun, and stay positive because we know that everything is impossible, until it is not.

“We have powerful tools. Openness, optimism and the spirit of curiosity.”

— Captain Jean-Luc Picard

Courage

It takes courage, true grit and sometimes almost shear determination to create that future we will never stop working for. We remain hopeful and positive even when failing continuously, not just because of the fun we have while failing but because we know that we learn while failing. We help each other when we fall, and we remain grateful for the opportunities we get. We never surrender.

“I have never tried that before, so I think I should definitely be able to do that.”

— Pippi Longstocking

Collaboration

Only by working together, freely sharing insights and ideas in a decentralized world, will we achieve a sustainable future. We believe in positive-sum games and win-wins for all. That means we work with open-source tools in digital native solutions, do not trade our time for money and help others selflessly to achieve our true potential. We trust others, as this is the highest form of motivation. This trust is created through honesty, openness and transparency.

“Trust is the highest form of human motivation. It brings out the very best in people.”

— Stephen R. Covey

1/ A decade ago, one of my best friends took over his family's electrical business and worked 6 days a week to grow the company. He recently achieved a generational wealth level exit.

He told me a story once that helped me understand how his family achieved such success.

Keeping your ideas to yourself

That’s no fun

Sharing ideas = clarity & potential to be remixed

"If I have an apple and you have an apple and we exchange them, we both still have 1 apple

If I have an idea and you also have an idea and we exchange them, we both have 2 ideas."
