Speaker: Sam Li, Co-Founder & CEO

Why did we choose to update our Values? How do they shape where we are going? What do they mean to the company?

Sam Li: There are two main reasons why we decided to update our company values. It's probably one year into the founding of Thoropass (back then "Laika") when Eva, Austin and myself sat down and wrote down our company values. A lot has changed since then. Both the world around us has changed. But also we as a company were much bigger in terms of employees, customer accounts revenue as well as scale and the level of complexity that we're dealing with as leadership teams. So we want to, you know, continue to find values that are close and dear to our hearts and, you know, are authentic to what we believe as founders, but also better fit the challenges and opportunity that we face as a company today versus three or four years ago. Uh Another reason is we, we also didn't do a great job evangelizing our value until now, right? These were uh a little bit boring, a little bit dry words on, on, on the wall. And, you know, we think there's a real opportunity to do it better this time and have something that is, you know, close and dear to our heart and really can resonate with all of you as members of the.
