Culture
Our company culture is drawn from our founder's personal life.
Allen, our founder, chose to defy convention and chart his own course, dropping out of college despite immense pushback and skepticism from family, friends and those that knew him. His mission? To build products that matter. And college wasn't going to help him do that.
But to build great products, Allen had to be different. He had to become the kind of person that can build a great product.
It was during this relentless pursuit for excellence that he penned his personal manifesto, The Colossus, a blueprint for life and work that would come to define not just his persona, but the very essence of our company culture.
Here's the original excerpt from the Colossus that formed the bedrock of our culture:
Learning junkie
"Deep obsession with learning new things and always trying to improve my knowledge, skills and persona."
Best foot forward
"Pushing myself to do the ultimate best with what I've got. For me. For my team. For my clients. For humanity."
Head-on collision
"Facing challenges head on. Taking on the difficult tasks even when they seem impossible."
Got your six
"I'll have my people's backs. Help them. Learn from them. Listen. Give them feedback."
Tomb raider
"Open to learn. Open to explore. Open to new and different ideas. Willing to venture into the unknown."
ASAP
"Speed is my advantage. Speed is my ally. Get it done fast. Get it done ASAP."
