Our Values
- Customer Focused: While we love growing businesses, we always want to do it in a way that serves the customers and online communities well.
- Results Oriented: As former card counters and "advantage players," we are data driven and love testing and trying new things. This requires setting ego aside, not getting stuck on one way of doing things, and staying curious about what will yield the best results for the business.
- Self-motivated: To thrive as part of a remote team means having the ability to be productive without micromanagement. We love collaboration, but much of the work is done individually.
- Lean and mean: Our core team is currently five people, and we don't see it growing much larger. While we prefer to keep the team small, we are able to grow the websites year over year by focusing on producing excellent results on the right tasks.
