Our Core Values

At the COOL company, we believe in being C.O.O.L.:

Creative - we look to find solutions that others can't and new ways of doing things that are smarter, faster, better and more efficient.

Open-minded - we're always evolving and keep an open mind as to new ways of doing things, new solutions and new processes that can help us.

Optimistic - The glass is always half full :) as a growing tech startup we're always faced with new challenges, we overcome them because we see them as opportunities.

Leaders - We look for drivers, people who like to set the pace of the organization, who don't simply go with the flow, you're setting a fast impact pace and holding others to it. We look for speed, impact, and setting the industry benchmark.

We creatively integrate new elements in innovative combinations, fueled by our optimism to drive success. Our open-mindedness allows us to embrace new ideas and approaches, empowering us to lead our industry through bold initiatives. That's the attitude we bring to work with us every day, and it's what we expect from everyone who works here.

That's just part of the values that drive us to greatness. We also believe in this trio of truths that inform every decision we make and everything we do:

Sleeves Up: At the COOL company, we provide you with the autonomy and creativity needed to own your role. We encourage iteration where necessary so that you can drive massive impact.
100% Viewability: the COOL company is passionate about open feedback at all levels of the company. This allows us to fail fast, create in real-time, and build an open company culture.
Be Defiantly Great: We're defiant, and that's in our blood. Challenging the status quo is a central part of who we are. We're capable of much more than what others deem impossible.
