We believe when someone receives help they are more compelled to lend help; everything we build supports that belief.

Our values:

 

???? Build on trust – When we start from a place of trust—genuinely aiming to do right by each other—we enable the type of work environment we all want to take part in, and everything we do is better as a result.

 

???? Expand your mind – We can’t rely on groupthink or lazy data to drive innovation; our meaningful breakthroughs will come from diversity of thought and intellectually honest debate.

 

???? Design deliberately – We’re methodic in our design approach so we can shape the future we want, but we balance that with gaining early validation and moving quickly when it matters.

 

???? Look for links – A short-term approach to solving problems will ultimately create more of them; our primary differentiation is our ability to connect the dots and build solutions that scale.

 

???? Focus on effect – We combine our humanity and sensibility to make smart bets and direct our passion toward productive outcomes; apathy and outrage tend to cause more harm than good.
