🥰 Mission

We're on a mission to make remote work less lonely and more effective. We do this by building Pesto: an all-in-one, avatar-based communications tool for teams.

🧱 Values

Positivity & fun: we believe in our ability to create positive change and have fun while doing it. We create a product that inspires the same in others.

Inclusiveness & diversity: we are committed to creating a diverse workforce where all people feel welcome. We create a product that inspires the same in others.

Empathetic honesty: we speak our minds and have hard conversations without being jerks and while staying open-minded

Pragmatic craftspeople: we take pride in the quality and volume of our work, but not to the point where we become jerks, lose focus on our mission, or harm our personal lives.

Trust: we trust our co-workers to make the right decision and expect their trust in return. We don't add process where trust will suffice.

Healthy & happy: we put time and energy into our own mental and physical health, our friends and family, and other personal goals / responsibilities.
