Our Values
Transparency
We believe in complete transparency with employees, investors, and investees. We define clear expectations and offer investment transparency to foster confidence and accountability. Internally, we share all individual compensation details and involve all employees in board meetings. Our practices include conducting 360-degree reviews and implementing HR policies that discourage unproductive and culturally destructive behaviors.
Logic
Transparency forces logic which forms the bedrock of our decision-making process and operational strategy. We rely on rational thinking, data-driven insights, and critical analysis to guide our choices.
Fairness
Transparency and logic are the basis of fairness. We strive to treat all individuals, both within our organization and outside, with equal respect and consideration. We believe in creating a level playing field that promotes diversity, inclusion, and opportunity for everyone.
Teamwork
We believe that by collaborating effectively, we can achieve greater results and overcome challenges that would be insurmountable individually. We value the diverse skills, perspectives, and experiences each team member brings, recognizing that together, we can accomplish more than the sum of our parts. More than 95% of our employees are locally based in the field.
Innovative Entrepreneurship
Innovation is the basis of change in mindsets. We embrace the spirit of innovation and entrepreneurship, encouraging and empowering our team members to think like innovators and seize opportunities for growth. We foster a culture of creativity, where new ideas are celebrated, and calculated risks are taken.
