What you can expect from us

Engagement

We're here to help, and we'd be sincerely happy to do so.

Some principles I have on management:
I'm not your father, nor your teacher. My role is more like a mentor.
You're not a child, nor a student. You're adult and responsible.
My job is to help do your best job.
I won't tell you what to do. My objective is to help you level it up.

Transparency

Here, you're in the company encyclopedia. You have access to every experiment we ran and lessons we learned in the past.
With great powers comes great responsabilities.
Don't start from a blank page. Feel free to explore it, and please ask for feedback and best practices. It will level up your skills. And it will make us grow.

Resources

What we expect from you

Stay hungry and foolish like Steve.

We learn often, we learn early. And we expect it from you too.

And send Daily Status Updates.

As a remote company, we share updates on a regular basis. Daily actually. It's key to stay in sync as a team.

In these Daily Status Updates, we don't share everything we've done. We focus on the Top 2-3 key takeaways. It helps us stay aligned and focus. Also, it helps us prioritize the next action items. And above all, it helps us ask for feedback when needed.

Keep it short. It's simpler to write—and to read.
