Our Values

We are committed to learning

Sometimes we will be right, but we know we will often be wrong. We are constantly learning to improve our product, our team and ourselves. We believe we can learn a lot (not everything) from the data; it is an excellent starting point. Most importantly, we enter each discussion with the attitude that it is more important to grow than to be right.

We act with empathy and openness

We do our best to practice the solutions we offer. For a healthy collaborative work environment we listen before talking; we ask questions before judging; and we remain open enough to admit when we are wrong, pivot to something better and be inspired by the unexpected.

We believe in having fun

We believe in hard work, but without a little fun, it doesn't seem worth it. We find the best way to move forward is to find the humor in the negative. And we know we are most innovative and creative when we entertain the wild ideas.
