Mission & Values

The world is broken, and we’re out to make our corner of it just a little bit better. 

At Go Fig, we believe we can solve more problems when humans come together to collaborate. Our AI agents and no-code workflows make it simple for any problem solver in any organization to get objective facts quickly and answer the “so what”, so they can spend more time on in-person collaboration that fuels genuine human innovation and builds a stronger community for all of us.

We deliver on this mission by operating on four core values:

• Lean In: We avoid getting too comfortable and keep pushing even when its hard
• Curiosity: We ask questions and know there's always a better way even if we don’t yet know how
• Humility: We know we work better as a team and sometimes it's better to pass than to shoot
• Flex Hard: We do our best work when and where we're at our best

We’re building a team in Greenville. We work hard together, and we celebrate hard together. All full-time employees are a huge part of our success. As an early stage startup, we are still building towards a wholesome and well-rounded work and benefit offering. For now, all full-time employees get access to the following:

• Hybrid, flexible work schedule (In-person Tuesdays are for teamwork and collaboration)
• 3 week minimum PTO
• Revenue/profit sharing
• Well-Being Stipend: a self-direct $1,000 annual stipend to invest in your individual growth and wellness: retreats, conferences, courses, books, health and wellness, etc
• **Benefits package coming in 2027: health insurance and 401k
