We prize 4 traits above all others:

• Hungry: we like people who are ambitious for themselves AND for our Mission and for each other – will all win together and that takes real drive
• Happy: we seek pragmatic optimists – pessimism and ironic dispositions, especially in leadership can kill startups – we seek those who know the world can be improved by those who work hard and smart to change it
• Humble: not the false “I’m not really anything” kind of modesty – we like swagger! But we prize people who are confident who know they are great, and so is everyone around them… and act accordingly
• Smart: there are a LOT of smart people here… but smart is last for a reason. We want those kinds of smart people who can collaborate and respect the intelligence of others.
