  • “We’re many voices with a single vision: to make what life needs next. We believe that diversity of thought and background helps us imagine better products, services and businesses, and create them today.

    With a remote-first philosophy and a trust-over-control policy we empower our teams to work closely with our partners, to make what life needs next.

    We are a multi-disciplinary team working together globally. Many of our people are global nomads with squiggly careers. We believe in the richness this adds to our work. Being remote first we leverage everything technology can offer. We are methodology-agnostic, and share best-practices, tools and learnings constantly.

    We encourage people to work from wherever they are most comfortable – whether that’s in one of our global hubs or digital nomad-ing it in South America. We share an approach to our work and collaborate constantly. We relish in IRL moments – for example during regional office weeks and our yearly summer office, bringing together everyone for a week of collaboration and building connections.

    We believe people own their personal growth and career paths. We don’t do step-by-step training programs or rigid career paths. We create an environment where people are challenged and can grow at whatever speed they’re comfortable with.” --- The People Space
