- We’re a team of 10, plus a few contractors in the mix, creating outsized wins for clients.
- We prioritize deep work and results over non-stop meetings and micromanagement.
- Because we prioritize deep work, we also prioritize recharging and taking care of yourself.
- We value clarity, accountability, autonomy and velocity. Everyone owns their work and knows how to execute.
- Remote-first, forever.
