What we stand for

The things we obsess over as a firm

Performance is our North Star

We are 100% aligned with our partners in driving material value. Performance first, technology second -- we strive to help our partners be the best that they can be.

Reducing Waste

It’s good for the planet, it’s good for our partners, it’s good for us. Life is too short to spend wasting time, effort or resources.

That Human Touch

We’re nice to work with. We’re relatively normal. We have a sense of humour. We’re not arrogant or demanding. We bend over backwards to make things work. Trust is non-negotiable. We expect emotional maturity and intellectual openness.

Clarity of Purpose

Pinpoint where you can have the greatest amount of impact in the shortest amount of time and deliver. People will see the results and back you to tackle the harder, deeper opportunities.

Talent Density

We strive for magnetism; naturally attracting the talent that fits our culture. Recruit exceptional colleagues. Hire exceptional freelancers. Work with exceptional partners. Great people want to work with you because great people already do.

Tempo & Rhythm

In sports, elite teams control the game; in movies, suspense isn’t created from speeding things up, it comes from slowing things down. As a firm we obsess about mastering the art of good timing.

Flywheels

The process of compounding is a superpower. As a firm we strive to invest in building assets that compound; so that each execution cycle is faster, more precise, more impactful than the last.

Loops, not Lines

Never stop learning. One of the most powerful things about data is not the special insight it gives us, but the fact that it gives you a feedback mechanism.

Leave Space for Others

...this is intentionally blank so that you can contribute your own ideas and take responsibility for growing the type of firm you want to work at.
