Let's take a second to talk culture. In the Marine Corps, the ethos was very simple. Honor. Courage. Commitment. We’ve brought those beliefs with us to Hoplynk, where we believe culture is everything. Culture is what drives decisions when no one's around to weigh in. Culture is knowing you can rely on your teammate and that you have shared values. Culture is what you do, and from Aristotle to Horowitz, you ARE what you do. The right culture attracts great people, and the wrong one sends them running. Culture keeps them aligned, trusted, and motivated. It’s how small teams do big things. At Hoplynk, our culture comes down to three simple principles: Candor: Say the hard thing kindly, early, and with evidence. Speak up during decisions. Humility: Strong opinions, loosely held. Change your mind with facts. Teach and learn in the open; celebrate team wins over heroics. Initiative: Run toward the smoke. Own problems end-to-end. Ship in small, safe steps with clear, observable outcomes. These are the behaviors we expect of ourselves, each other, and everyone we bring onto the team. They guide how we build, communicate, and grow. More about what these values mean to us here https://lnkd.in/dRsuAcAx
