02 / How we build

Start with
a problem.
Make it matter.

Good companies begin with something worth solving. These are the principles that guide the work.

01

Find the problem.

Start with something people need solved. Understand the problem before deciding what to build.

02

Use technology as leverage.

Make things simpler, faster or more useful. Choose the tools that serve the problem, and give people more room to do their best work.

03

Stay close to the data.

Listen to people. Pay attention to what they do. Let evidence challenge assumptions, including our own.

04

Ship. Measure. Improve.

Put a useful product into people’s hands. Learn from what happens, then make the next version better.

05

Think long term.

Build something worth maintaining. Make decisions with its future in mind, and give meaningful work the time it deserves.

The way it comes together
