How we operate at Boosted
We are mission focused and think big, nothing is impossible. We care about
impact and obsess over the problems we need to solve. To stay focused on the
work and steer clear of company politics and back channelling, we insist on
radical transparency and direct feedback from every person on the team. We
have a bias for action (+ learning) and believe that in today’s environment of
uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity the best approach to progress is
experimentation and rapid iteration. Speed matters. We think holistically and
our collective experience of building companies from scratch and scaling them,
comes with important learned lessons. We therefore know how to solve short
term problems today with the bigger picture in mind. Most important - we have
fun. We don’t take ourselves too seriously and we choose to be around each
other everyday.
