Our 4 Virtues

Purpose

We build products in an iterative process with a focus on validation. This results in us solving real problems that people actually care about.

Focus

Relationships are the most important building block of our business. Collaborating with industry experts allows us to determine major pain points and build highly scalable solutions that add value within an industry.

Growth

We run and grow our company based on Stoic virtues.
We strive to do the right thing (courage), to know what the right thing is (justice), to embrace adversity when it's necessary (temperance), and know how to pick our battles (wisdom).

Balance

We're often forced to juggle many priorities at the same time. Never overextending or getting entrenched in either direction allows us to stay agile and leave space to react to unforeseen events.

Our Advisors

We don't know everything, but we know the right people.
