Values
We aim high
For us, nothing is impossible, because we see opportunities everywhere. We aim high, driven by the ambition to build the most valuable Venture Studio in CEE. We approach projects ambitiously: we enter into partnerships with large companies and create deliverables of the highest quality. We are relentless, determined and committed to the goals we are striving for. We know what we want to achieve, how we want to achieve it and we consistently implement our plan day after day. Together with ambitious partners from the world of startups and corporations, we want to create a valuable ecosystem of innovations.
We foster entrepreneurship
We work with commitment on businesses as if they were our own. We strive with persistence and dedication to the goal to deliver high quality. We are brave and determined to achieve our goals, because we are driven by internal motivation. We look for solutions in the face of difficulties, being open to pivots. Even if we have limited resources, we do everything to achieve the goals: we search, ask, wander, until we finally find the best possible solution. We care, which is why we are proactive and act dynamically and agilely like a startup. The effect of our work are companies operating on the market, of which we are proud.
We drive innovation
We are constantly looking for promising ideas and trends that will help us create valuable companies. Thanks to our knowledge of the world of innovation, creativity and the ability to learn quickly, we want to be at the forefront of the startup race. We approach all projects at every stage of their implementation with enthusiasm and optimism. We treat a business partner or collaborator with the same enthusiasm, believing that this will lead us to a successful venture. We have open minds and collect information from various fields and businesses to effectively connect the dots and proactively suggest profitable development paths to business partners.
We stand for honesty
We communicate honestly and directly, both with each other and with business partners. At the same time, we maintain a high level of culture of speech and respect for the interlocutor. We listen to the client, advise them, but also transparently address uncomfortable topics, because we assume that it is better to tell the truth, even difficult truth, than to remain silent. We provide feedback regularly, transparently and directly to the given person, believing that feedback is a gift. We are not afraid to provide feedback. At the same time, we are open to receiving feedback from each other and from our business partners. Thanks to this, we build lasting relationships with each other and our clients based on mutual trust and respect.
We win as a team
We are a team of people who care about each other. We believe that cooperation is essential to achieving a goal. We approach each team member individually: we discover our strengths and unique talents to use them to the fullest in our work and achieve success. We learn from each other to strengthen our competences and achieve goals even more effectively. We are happy to help each other, even if it goes beyond the project we are currently involved in. We do not leave anyone to their own devices, because we believe in the principle: one for all, all for one. And that is why we also like to spend time together after work.
