Instead of relying on people managers, product managers and heavy processes, we rely on exceptionally talented individuals with high agency to be self-motivated towards contributing to our mission. - **You want to work at an early stage start-up.** The default state of any startup is failure. The only way to overcome the daunting odds of making a startup venture successful is for a densely packed group of insanely hard working and talented people to work together to building something useful to and loved by customers. If you're not willing to work extremely hard on something high risk, this startup isn't for you. - **You act like an owner.** You put immense care and craft into what you build because you take responsibility for all parts of the product. You don't walk past broken windows. - **You care about what we're building.** Life's too short to work on something you're not passionate about. We are a small group of ambitious people who want to build something insanely great that *we* want to use, and that we think every company will want to use. If our mission and product doesn't resonate with you, we understand and would encourage you to find something that does.
