Culture
We start with people who are genuinely nice people to hang out with. Make sure they are super smart and motivated. Lastly, we have a no jerk policy…zero tolerance. No one likes working in a company with a difficult co-worker or boss.
When you focus on the right people, suddenly it’s possible to attack that big idea, crush extremely hard problems, and excite your customer base.
Our philosophy in a nutshell is “People, Product, Profit”. Great companies are created in that order.
