Building tools to power internet trust takes a certain type of person. Here are five values that sit at the core of all we do:
“At Ethyca, we know restoring user trust in data-driven systems will take hard work. We’re building a team that believes the internet should work for everyone, and it’s this shared sense of purpose that makes our team special. Each one of us believes respect for user privacy is critical for the future of online community.”
On Saturday March 14, 2020, the Ethyca team realized we wouldn’t be going back to our office in Manhattan’s Flatiron district any time soon. Like most, we didn’t realize just how dramatically our world was about to change, and for how long. And for us, there was an extra layer of complexity in the sudden shift to remote collaboration: our first customers had just onboarded and our team had just started to grow rapidly.
We evolved into the group that we are today through this unique set of circumstances. Throughout last year, we rapidly iterated on our approach to each aspect of how the company worked together; shipping product, ideating design, team socializing. Some efforts were very successful. Others were not! Throughout it all, we kept spirits high, attitudes inquisitive, and sought to treat our colleagues with empathy, always.
As we grow into a larger team that will continue supporting distributed and in-person contribution, we’ll seek to preserve the spirit that propelled us forward through 2020 while much of the world stood still.
