Company values

  • Raise the standards of what is possible: Our members are raising their standards: they deserve a company that does, too. Steve Jobs had just two classifications: things were either ‘insanely great’, or ‘total shit’. Work that matters has no middle ground. Backflippers relate to this way of thinking. Don’t we all want to be ‘insanely great’?
  • We embrace being the novice so we can become the master: We all start new endeavors as beginners. We may make mistakes, which is ok, as mistakes help us to grow in our journey to becoming the master. We learn from the giants, as we seek to identify battle-tested ideas and practices that have demonstrated their resiliency over time. At Backflip, we enter challenges and opportunities with curious minds, and ask questions, freely and without judgment
  • Work only with those who want the best for us: As the cliché goes: we refuse to work with assholes. We want business to be fun! Success depends on our blend of deep caring, effort, and optimism. We’re energized to work together with “our people” toward our best work
  • Communicate quickly, naturally and with radical candor: We value direct communication. The optimal approach is sharing, with quick, concise, everyday language - for good news, bad news, responsibilities, plans, and decisions. Feedback is core to our culture, always given in service of helping each other grow and get better
  • Today, nah, Now!: Speed matters. In the finite realm of time, we relentlessly compress cycles, amplifying time through proactive, purposeful actions. Our commitment to urgency propels exponential progress. No room for apathy or complacency; being willing is not enough: we must do. Today, never tomorrow — Today, nay, now!
  • We test new things to invest and challenge the status quo: We use trial-and-error as a way to invent. In the freedom to choose from maximum options we discover novel approaches and capture large upsides. Many of history’s greatest inventions were misperceived at first. We have the resiliency to stand by the testing framework even against those stuck in the status quo
