The rise of eCommerce has provided fertile ground for brands to globalize their business operations and reach customers around the world, yet language barriers can prevent such progress. Tools such as Google Translate facilitate the quick translation of most major languages, but these results are often not grammatically correct, requiring the expensive services of professional translators to ensure every translation is perfect.

• We are result-oriented: We focus on the outcomes rather than the processes used to achieve them. We take responsibility for what we do, deciding when, where, how, and with whom we work.
• We act fast: We act as one sheer force, with no internal barriers or bureaucracy, without waiting for “consensus” — which we see as just a way to avoid responsibility. Instead, we expect commitment to act even if we agree that the solution at hand is suboptimal.
• We grow as individuals and as a team: As a team, we support each other. If we see someone struggling with a problem, we make it our problem.
• We love our customers: We’re in it to make our customers achieve their goals. It means we listen to them closely, take their needs seriously, and give them long-term, sustainable solutions. It also means we’re not afraid to challenge their opinions and push them to approach their problems with new perspectives.
• We crave feedback: We are careful to provide an environment where feedback, opinions, and ideas from anyone are welcome. Whether we’re giving or receiving feedback, the goal is to give actionable advice that helps us make better decisions and reach our goals together.
