💜 Our Core Values
Before joining a company, it’s important you know what we value and how we operate. We look for and nurture these values in every member of our team.
● Bias for execution, not idea: We can have 100 different ideas every day, what matters is how we execute them. So we immediately execute things that look lucrative and learn from results instead of procrastination.
● Bias for action: We do things quickly. Not the end of the week, today. We take action on suggested improvements asap. We do not wait for approvals or meetings for easily reversible decisions. We take action.
● Customer Obsession: We're focused on our customers' unmet needs, their anxieties, and frustrations when it comes to the creation of videos. We build products that help alleviate these. We go above and beyond for our customers during onboarding and support. When they win, we win.
● Self-Agency: We take ownership of problems. Did the customer make a mistake? It's on us to fix. Someone on the team messes things up? It's upon us to pick things back up. Competitor launches smear campaign? We continue focusing on our game.
