⚖️ Values

Trust and accountability

Trust is hard to define, but we know when it's lost. It's essential to creating psychological safety, encouraging curiosity, encouraging risk taking, and it is the foundation for accountability.

Accountability is essential to empower autonomy, pride, personal growth, and speed.

Trust is given and it's earned. It's given from each of us to our teammates in good faith. It's earned through a track record of reliability and proactive communication.

Make it happen

Startups are an exercise in overcoming inertia and creating momentum. Speed is essential.

Think a change should be made? Make it.

Many decisions are reversible and there's value in creating and iterating quickly. We value calculated risk taking.

Take pride, be humble

Accountability and ownership means taking pride in what you create. Humility means acknowledging that other contributions can make the team's creation as a whole better.

We assess our own work critically and we’re the first to call out our shortcomings. We continuously push ourselves and others to improve and set a higher bar.

We firmly believe that the best idea from a group should win, not the loudest voice.

Curiosity, optimism, and growth

Overcoming fear, which fosters narrow mindedness and destroys clarity of thought, is a prerequisite to creating something valuable.

We choose curiosity over fear - a starting point for exploration, innovation, and making it happen.

We choose optimism over fear - it's easy to reflect on how things could go wrong, it's responsible to minimize downside risks, but the north star we work toward is the future where things go right.

Curiosity and optimism together foster growth. Personal growth for every team member and the growth of Cloudthread towards our mission.

Universal inclusion

We value an environment that empowers everyone to bring their whole self to work with confidence and pride.

There are historic, systemic inequalities that create bias in hiring - we're deliberate in counteracting this bias when searching for potential teammates.

Diversity and inclusion efforts are an iterative process that is vulnerable to blind spots. We try to be proactive, but we appreciate and encourage everyone to point out where we're falling short on our values.
