Remote-First. Results-Only.

We're a small team of investors and operators building something meaningful — from anywhere in the world.

Our Philosophy

Our Approach to Work

We don't have an office. We don't track hours. We don't do unnecessary meetings.

We hire smart people, give them ownership, and get out of their way.

What matters is the work — not where or when you do it.

Principle 01

Remote-First

Work from anywhere.

Dubai. London. Bali. Your kitchen table. We don't care where you are — we care what you deliver.

Our team is distributed. Our communication is async. Our results are real.

No commute. No office politics. No performative busyness.

Just work that matters.

Principle 02

Flexible Hours

We don't track time. We track outcomes.

You're an adult. You know what needs to get done. Do it when you're at your best.

Early morning. Late night. Broken into chunks. One focused sprint. Whatever works for you.

We have core overlap hours for collaboration when needed. Otherwise, your time is yours to manage.

Miss a deadline? That's a problem. Take a long lunch on a Tuesday? Nobody cares.

Principle 03

Async-First Communication

Meetings are expensive. We use them sparingly.

Default to writing. Be clear. Be concise. Give context.

A good async message answers the question before it's asked. A great one doesn't require a follow-up.

When we do meet, it's because it's truly the best use of everyone's time.

  • Written updates over status meetings
  • Recorded walkthroughs over live calls
  • Documentation over tribal knowledge
  • Clear deadlines over vague timelines

Principle 04

Ownership Mentality

We don't hire people who need to be managed.

You own your work. You own your deadlines. You own your mistakes — and your wins.

See a problem? Fix it. Don't wait for permission.

Have an idea? Share it. Don't wait to be asked.

Something unclear? Ask. Don't assume.

We're too small for passengers. Everyone here moves the needle.

Principle 05

Direct Communication

No politics. No corporate speak. No dancing around issues.

Say what you mean. Give feedback directly. Receive it gracefully.

If something's wrong, we address it. If something's great, we acknowledge it.

Honesty isn't optional — it's how we operate.

What We Expect

  • Deliver what you commit to — on time
  • Communicate proactively — don't make people chase you
  • Write clearly — async only works if communication is sharp
  • Solve problems — don't just flag them
  • Keep learning — stay curious, get better
  • Respect others' time — be prepared, be punctual when meetings happen
  • Take ownership — act like it's your company

What We Offer

  • Fully remote — work from anywhere in the world
  • Flexible schedule — manage your own time
  • Async-first culture — minimal meetings, maximum focus
  • Direct access to leadership — no layers, no gatekeepers
  • Meaningful work — your contributions are visible and valued

Rest & Recovery

Time Off

Take the time you need.

We don't have unlimited PTO as a trick to make you take none. We genuinely expect you to rest, recharge, and come back sharp.

Let the team know in advance. Make sure your work is covered. That's it.

Burning out helps no one.

Culture Fit

Who Thrives Here

  • Self-starters who don't need hand-holding
  • Clear communicators who write well
  • Problem-solvers who figure things out
  • People who value freedom and responsibility equally
  • Those who do their best work without someone watching

Who doesn't:

  • People who need constant direction
  • Those who wait to be told what to do
  • Anyone who sees remote as "less work"

The Bottom Line

We're building something real with a small team of people who give a damn.

No bureaucracy. No busywork. No pretending to be busy.

Just good people, doing good work, from wherever they are.

If that sounds like you — we'd love to hear from you.
