Our Values

Our team embodies our eight core principles and if these principles speak to you – we’d love to talk with you. 

• Mission Driven: We will passionately apply ourselves to deliver immense value to our customers, knowing if they succeed, so too will the company
• Extreme Ownership: We think and act like owners. Our focus is building long-term value, not scoring short-term marks. We own everything in our domain, including the outcome and everything that affects it
• Boldness: We want to do things of consequence. Make a difference. We would rather fail at something meaningful than succeed at something trivial
• Bias for action: The best way to make progress is to act
• Economical: Efficiency is important, and we consider both the costs and benefits of our actions
• Team-oriented: In working together, we maintain a low ego, make everyone feel welcome, assume good intent, trust one another, and seek out different perspectives. We empower our teammates to be at their best.
• Challenged, but not overwhelmed: We are curious people who always want to grow. Growth happens outside our comfort zone. We achieve our potential through consistent, manageable growth
• Integrity: We do the right thing. When we make mistakes, we own and correct them. We would be proud of our actions are shared with our family, friends, and strangers. Everyone can count on us to act according to our values, beliefs, and principles we state we hold. This trust must never be broken.
