A business that makes nothing but money is a poor business.
Henry Ford

How we view the world.

The universe is abundant
It isn't a zero sum game – everyone can win.
Act as though karma exists
Doing good to others is its own reward, but the ROI is a nice bonus.
People are inherently trustworthy
We give folks the benefit of the doubt.
Intent matters
You are what you think.

How we work.

Operate on fact, not forecast
Don't become emotionally attached to any one idea. Test, don’t guess.
Employ intense candor
Life's too short. We are neither a consultancy, nor the UN.
Fail fast
We're not afraid to fail our way to success. When we don't know the answer, we try something.
Optimize for the user
What’s better for us may not be better for the user. Always side with the user.
'Flintstone' first - automate last
Have humans do the work first. Only automate if it's worth automating.
Be borderless
Pwn conventional wisdom. Think outside your preconceived notions and thoughts. There is no spoon.
Work it out on paper
Experience it manually.
