How we compete:
AI-Native at every level
From the CEO to day-one hires, everyone builds and ships with generative AI. If you’re not wielding AI, you’re not done.

Free-market rigor
Ideas rise or fall on merit and results - no committees, no politics, no cap on upside.
Full-stack ownership
You design, build, and run what you ship; accountability is a feature, not a bug.

Relentless exploration
Push the frontier of generative AI in live learning and - because only the paranoid survive - questioning every legacy assumption along the way.
Is Apolitical
You stay focused on mission-aligned outcomes, not distractions or unrelated causes.
