Our operating principles

  • Grit > Pedigree

    Startups are hard. We rank grit extremely high when we think about growing our team. Experience matters, but brand names on resumes mean less to us than they might elsewhere.

  • Ownership > Optics

    We have a ship by Friday and high ownership culture. We hold each other accountable. Sometimes the work we do is hard to see, but the impact is deeply felt. If you want to grow and be held accountable for real outcomes, we’re excited to meet you.

  • In person > Remote

    We are an in‑person culture. We work side by side. We meet, discuss, and debate spontaneously. We’re looking for others who put a premium on working alongside those they are building with. Our office is in SoHo. Come visit us.
