What we strive for

Focus and iteration

It takes focus and iteration to achieve quality, much like redrawing circles to get to a flawless 0. We care for the craft of what we build, inside and out.

Clear value

A great product captures value that is clear, direct, and simple. We strive to solve hard problems with effortlessly easy to understand solutions, like drawing a straight line (or a 1) from A to B.

Scalable solution

When we discover something that works, we want it to spread. So we create programmable solutions built on 0's, 1's and bits so that ideas are set up to scale.
