Handbook3. Who We HireObsessed Outliers

Obsession

“If you want to build a ship, don’t drum up the men to gather wood, divide the work, and give orders. Instead, teach them to yearn for the vast and endless sea.” — Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

We don’t hire for skills alone. We hire for obsession.

Find the obsessed

  • Breakthroughs require long-term focus, not fleeting interest
  • Failure isn’t the end—just another step in relentless experimentation
  • People who obsess push beyond limits others accept

We seek those already consumed

  • You’re already working on the problem—because you can’t not
  • We don’t assign you a job; we support your life’s work
  • Obsession isn’t just personal—it becomes more powerful in a team
  • Together, a group of obsessives becomes greater than the sum of its parts

The best hires share common traits

  • Desperation: Solving the problem feels like a need, not a choice
  • Relentlessness: You try, fail, adapt—again and again
  • Defiance: Others call it crazy; we call it genius

We’re looking for the dreamers

  • That deep, persistent song you’ve been trying to sing? We hear it
  • Maybe you’ve been mocked, dismissed, or misunderstood
  • We seek those lonely, weird dreamers who refuse to give up

Wherever you are in the world, if this feels like you—apply here
