DESCRIPTION
We're building a community of the new breed of entrepreneur that wants to realise their dreams and do things differently. We're all about startups that put people first and measure success in happiness, as well as profits. We believe happy teams, storytelling and customer experience are key to delivering on vision. The future belongs to organisations that live their values, love their customers, have a clear purpose and focus on a strong company culture. Think Southwest Airlines over Ryanair.
