Culture & values

The first 10 hires operate as the founding team.

Everyone from the first 10 hires should operate as a founder.

Deep obsession about the problem and high agency enable ultra high ownership.

If the biggest problem today is a database migration and you are the most suited, that work will fall on your table.

If two weeks forward the biggest problem is context engineering and you are the most suited, your work will shift to that.

If we are working a lot and spending the majority of our time together we should have fun and feel excited about spending time together.

We believe the first 10 hires will hire the first 100, who will hire the first 1000.

Community first.

We are building the company from the heart of the Stockholm ecosystem.

The office is located in a building with a dense startup ecosystem and notable founders nearby.

The building hosts founders and leaders from the startup ecosystem, with frequent curated events featuring notable figures.

The surrounding area includes startups like Lovable and Klarna, with regular ecosystem events.

The building has a rooftop terrace.

We thrive in a fast-paced environment and want to go all in.

There is a strong emphasis on ownership and a growth mindset through flexible, shifting priorities.
