How we work

1—14

Expand access to opportunity

Postal code or family connections shouldn’t determine someone’s future. Talent is everywhere, opportunity is not.

Moved to act

We work energetically and with agency to push for progress, always making sure perfect doesn’t become the enemy of good.

Inspired by high standards

We’re inspired by the drive and intensity of those around us, motivated to collaborate, and excited to continually improve.

Students first

We do everything we can to create an amazing experience dedicated to the success of students and those starting their careers.

Build a big business for big impact

A successful and sustainable business gives us the resources required to do more good for more students.

Move the marketplace

We use the strength of our platform and our pace of innovation to shift norms and amplify impact, delivering much-needed industry change.

Own the outcome

We work until issues are solved. When there’s a problem, we take responsibility for the outcome, good or bad.

Eager to learn

We demonstrate curiosity. Handshakers are aware of their gaps and are ready to learn, grow, and repeat.

Leave nothing to chance

We believe we can be successful in the long term, but we’ll only succeed if we’re disciplined and diligent about our work every day.

Share, escalate, commit

We are comfortable with outcomes that don't make everyone happy; when decisions are made, we collaborate, commit, and follow through.
