  • Stay Sharp: We love solutions and actions, but we always remember to stay curious and critical of our actions. Asking the right questions before jumping to solutionisation helps us stay laser-focused, efficient, and aligned with our mission and vision despite the temptation of a huge world of possibilities out there.
  • Transparency: We value honesty and transparency from the top down. Everyone's voice is encouraged and heard.
  • Diversity: We are a diverse bunch, and we love how differences give us peripheral vision and creativity.
  • Supportive: We are supportive and solution-driven, helping each other become better.
