Our Values
Discover our values and what it’s like to be a Mentioner onboard our rocket ship. It all started with #hashtags. In small teams, we thought of what means most to us, and how we motivate each other. Every value had to have a name, description, and a real example to illustrate it in action. After collecting the results and analyzing them, five stood out to us.
#OneTeam
We are nothing without each other. We support each other, celebrate individuality, and always move together.
All for one, and one for all.
#ToTheMoon
The possibilities are endless. We're ambitious, we want to lead, and we want to change the industry.
Fly me to the moon, let me play among the stars.
#HackToTheFuture
We build, test, improve, and scale - better, faster, & smarter. And when it's done, we do it again.
Harder. Better. Faster. Stronger.
#ListenUp
We learn more from each other than the sound of our own voices. The more we listen, the more we learn.
Stop! Collaborate and listen.
#Resilient
We're not afraid to fail; we're afraid of not trying. We learn from our mistakes and always come back stronger.
I get knocked down, but I get up again.
