• Humility: We put our customers and our colleagues before ourselves. We check our egos at the door and are not afraid to be wrong or to learn in public. Our goal is to reach the right answer, not our own answer
• Authenticity: We are honest with each other and with ourselves. We respect and admire each other for the diverse perspectives we each bring to the table and welcome open debate. We always keep it real and say the last 10%
• Grit: Startups are not for the faint of heart. We’re in it for the long haul – we persevere and figure it out together through the tough times, the challenges, and the setbacks. We hold strong as one. We are made for this
• Inclusive Meritocracy: We push ourselves to master our craft and give our best to get things done. We recognize and reward based on strong performance and merit. We value picking the best ideas, no matter who raises them. It's about how we show up and what we deliver, not who we know or what our experiences were
• Doing Whatever It Takes: We attack the problem head on as one team. We don’t step aside, wait around for someone else to solve it or avoid the roadblock. We tackle our work with determination and dedication to the results. We focus on long-term success for Starburst vs. short term individual wins. We believe we all own our successes and failures. We don’t blame others for our failures, but instead find a way to enlist the help we need, and find solutions to get it done
• Customer Obsessed: We solve for our customer. It means doing the right things, even when it’s hard. We aspire to remove obstacles and bring easy solutions to our customers, putting the power back in their hands. We don't want to just make them happy, we want to help them succeed
