One Team: We dont think of ourselves as Acquisition Marketers Engineers Data Analysts or Product Managers. Beyond denoting skill sets and areas of expertise we dont think departments matter. Wed rather align ourselves to the goals were working to achieve and make sure we have necessary subject matter expertise to drive meaningful impact. We strive to orient ourselves around customer problems TOGETHER getting the right people with the right context in the right rooms/Zooms to solve problems holistically.

Similarly we dont subscribe to rigid or classical expectations of roles i.e. acquisition is hyper-focused on improving customer retention and experience.

We Are Focused and Work Without Assumption: We are not beholden to ideas. We have goals and believe everything beyond that is a series of hypotheses to validate. To that end we seek to work in sequence and not in parallel.
