Culture is what you reward, what you punish.
Culture is people. And people become what they reward and punish.
We strongly believe that "The team you build is the company you build, not the plan you make." And the early team makes or breaks the culture.
Truthseeking
Do you ask and understand the why of everything you do, every experiment you have run, every result you have seen, every success you've had, every failure you've been through? Disagree and commit. Obligation to dissent.
Obsession
Do you take it upon yourself to crack the problem if no one else is able to? Do you not make excuses and become resourceful to get anything and everything done? Do you think about the most pressing problem in the shower? Do you send out your weekly asks to people on Sunday so you get highest priority during the week? Do you follow up with people and make it your responsibility to ensure things are on track? Do you find the best people to solve your problems? Do you believe you can build the next big thing despite everything going against you because you believe in yourself and the team? Disproportionate bias towards actions and outcomes.
Learning
Do you not feel nice if you haven't learnt anything new on a given day? Do you like the high of learning something you didn't know earlier and being able to solve a problem few others have? Do you feel there is absolutely nothing you can't learn if you have to? Do you know the best people in your space whom you can call on speed-dial and learn from?
Aiming for the Best
Do you not settle for average quality, average insight, average team-mate, average outcomes? Do you aim for building the best product? Do you have taste that differentiates the outlier from the obvious? Do you stay away from mediocrity? Do you like to be surrounded by and learning from the best?
And have the best gig of your life. We love the feeling of waking up excited to work with a team who's equally obsessed, passionate, and hungry to learn and win, every single day.
