Our Ethyca values

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:

We Iterate

We understand that the greatest enemy to accomplishing our goal is time. For this reason, we iterate constantly. The concept of iteration applies to every team. Whatever you do at Ethyca, we want you to know you’ll be more impactful if you adhere to the principle of minimum iterations. That is: ship the smallest version of your proposal; set the shortest due date you can and don’t move it; reduce the scope to ensure the cycle time is as short as possible.

We work on trust

We quite literally work on the problems of trust and so, we believe nothing is more important than this. Earning trust requires of us all the courage to be vulnerable, the consistency to be dependable and a commitment to transparency that demonstrates integrity. We know trust is earned, not given, so we work on trust.

We Iterate

“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.”

Stronger together: how we navigated forward through pandemic uncertainty

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.
