Focus on the user and all else will follow.

Users are people. They are family members, friends, neighbors. Some are relying on us to build their company. Others just need help finding a simple answer. But every one of them is giving us their trust. It's our responsibility to do right by them.

Look beyond to solve the real problem.

Use deep insight and the correct technology to solve the problem behind the problem. Then demand purpose, great execution, and attention to detail when constructing the solution.

We only succeed when others succeed.

Ultimately, we provide products and services to help others. Startups, founders, small businesses, big enterprises, developers, creators, and everyone in between. If they don't succeed, neither do we.
