Our Principles

0101
We value access over ownership, contribution over power.
We believe that true impact comes from sharing and empowering others to create collective value.
0202
We ask for forgiveness, not permission.
Innovation thrives in environments where initiative is encouraged, and missteps are seen as part of the journey toward progress.
0303
We know where we can get the tools, knowledge, and support we need.
By leveraging collective resources, we stay adaptable and resilient, focusing on collaboration rather than competition.
0404
We value empathy, dialogue, trust, and respect.
These principles guide every interaction, ensuring that all voices are heard, and diverse perspectives are embraced.
0505
Appropriate technology, rather than accept it as is.
We prioritize tools that serve the people and the context, ensuring they enhance rather than limit our potential to innovate.
0606
We help those who struggle with smart solutions.
Empathy guides us to create practical, impactful solutions that address real challenges, building bridges for those who need them most.
0707
We ask questions, then more questions, before we come up with answers.
Curiosity drives us to explore deeper insights and design solutions that are both thoughtful and grounded in real needs.
0808
We actively take part in design efforts to come up with better solutions.
Co-creation is key to our process, inviting all stakeholders to shape and test ideas from the ground up.
0909
We work "agile," prototype early, test quickly, and know when to start over.
Continuous iteration keeps us flexible and responsive, never afraid to pivot when necessary.
1010
We will not stop in the face of huge barriers.
Resilience and perseverance are at the core of our approach; every obstacle is an opportunity to innovate.
 
1111
We unremittingly share our knowledge and learning, because this is where true value comes from.
Open sharing fuels collective growth, reinforcing that knowledge multiplies when it's given freely.
1212
We value collaboration and open innovation.
Partnerships drive our success, making space for all contributors to leave a lasting impact.
 
1313
We continuously learn by making it fun.
Learning is woven into everything we do, and making it enjoyable keeps creativity and innovation alive.
