Our Values

Entrepreneurship is at our core

We love entrepreneurs and exist to help them succeed. This is what unites us with our customers. We are also entrepreneurs ourselves, bringing our creativity, adaptability, and can-do attitude to all that we do.

Always learning & unlearning

There is no blueprint for what we do, so again and again, we are venturing into the unknown. We are fearless, always questioning common-held beliefs, and ready to unlearn. And we are humble, being aware there is a lot we don’t know yet, learning, changing, iterating. Our customers are our biggest inspiration to do better.

Everything is possible

We are challenging existing systems to make the world a radically better place. We don't focus on why something is impossible, but on how to make it possible. We are not afraid of going out and failing, adapting and trying again.

Crazy ideas, constant output

Our work needs constant ideation and creativity, but also quick problem-solving and action. We strike a good balance between the focus on getting the right things done, while creating enough room for exploration and deep thinking.

Touch & Tech

We believe in balancing cutting-edge technology with the human touch. Our software streamlines and automates processes, but we never lose sight of the importance of personal connections. By combining tech efficiency with genuine human interaction, we create a supportive and effective environment for entrepreneurs and funders.
