A culture of learning, openness and optimism: We’re a self-reflective team who speak openly around fears, sources of gratitude and emotional well-being. We prioritize learning, experimentation, and aligning everyone’s work with their strengths to optimize for us all working in ‘flow states'. We value coaching, feedback, and managing our energy levels (e.g., the founders previously finished an 8-week programme, “Lead from love”, based on principles of positive intelligence).
Thoughtfulness around diversity & inclusion: We promote diversity and provide equal opportunity for all employees with the ambition to build a company that represents a variety of backgrounds, perspectives, and skills.
In-person collaboration: We believe that our best work happens when we are in the same room, and are thus building an in-person company (New York), with some flexibility for remote working & travel.
