Values we stand by
Relentless truth-seeking
We are approaching this problem in a way nobody has before: there is no playbook, and there is no beaten path. We need to iterate toward the truth, both actively accepting uncomfortable realities and readily rejecting simple fictions.
Strong beliefs weakly held
Be intensely convicted while also being eager to be convinced. Innovation is earned: 90% of our ideas will turn out to be wrong and few will turn out to be right, but we need to execute with 100% dedication to tell which is which.
Devotion to one another
People fall; pick each other up. At the same time, be the best version of yourself: not just in terms of your individual actions, but how you exist and interact with a world of other similarly driven people.
Default to “yes”
If in doubt, believe your teammate until proven wrong. At worst, you’ll end up being right and your teammate learned something new. At best, you’ll have learned and we will all be better for it.
Commitment to growth
At every point in time, we exist as the worst versions of ourselves compared to all future selves. This is a blessing: try something new, take a risk, push yourself and take a shot in the dark. Inaction is the thief of betterment: treat every day as an opportunity to grow, and seize all the opportunities you get.
