Success fuels fun
Think back to the most fun you’ve ever had at work — the biggest parties, celebrations. Were they holiday parties and random occasions, or were they actually linked to great achievements? It’s usually the latter.
You don’t gather at work for the fun of it, you come together to do great things. Peak moments of joy and bonding are fueled by a sense of accomplishment.
Even on a smaller scale, levity and joy are inextricably linked to doing great work and making customers happy. We take our work seriously and ourselves lightly.
In the absence of success, progress, and high performance, jokes, parties, ping pong tables and gourmet lunches at work stop being fun.
We are here to build an enduring profitable business
Not just the shiniest deep technology, not just the happiest teams.
The foremost responsibility you have to your stakeholders, from investors to employees, is to make the business succeed, to win in the marketplace.
Ideals in a vacuum
Ideals in a vacuum are just not that interesting. If I wrote an essay droning on and on about “leading with integrity”, no one would read it, and nor should they. That’s boring. What’s interesting is trying to win and do hard things, while honoring your ideals.
Shooting for the stars and falling short, innovating, building on the frontier of what’s possible, trying but failing, doing exciting things that exceed your hopes and dreams with a team just as ambitious and driven as you are, while also holding your ideals to heart — that’s exciting. That’s what brings your ideals to life.
