Corporate Culture of AccelerEyes
At AccelerEyes, we try to create a culture that enriches the lives of those that work here. Here are some of the things we try to live by (which I will discuss in future posts):
- Hire slow
- Fire fast
- Be upbeat
- Be focused
- Be consistent
- Be clear
- Be self-starting
- Be excellent
- Be selling
- Be better
Culture is really important. In fact, as David Cummings said, “Corporate culture is the only long-term sustainable competitive advantage within your control.”
Culture is so much more more than the cliche tech startup amenities like free food, scooters, ping pong, video games, massage, car detailing, and house cleaning. All of those things are awesome to have, but a great culture is one which attracts and retains people because it’s invigorating and provides growth opportunities not commonly found elsewhere.
What aspects of corporate culture do you find important? How do you maintain the culture of your startup?
