Culture and benefits at StartPlaying

Culture overview

StartPlaying is about empowering our users to do what they love, because that is what we want as a team. We want to work with the tools we love, on the products we love. We are **self-learners = ? + ?**. We cherish the independence of our team members and we want to feel as empowered building this company as our players feel using our product. We are **user empathetic = ?‍?‍? + ?**. We love our players and game masters. We deeply learn about their lives and what they value so that we can build a better product. We are **game evangelists = ? + ?**. We love stories and games and believe the world would be a better place if we all made some time to play with each other. You’ll seldom have a conversation with us without being invited to a game. We are **ruthless prioritizers = ? + ?**. We realize we are solving pressing needs for our users and we don’t have enough time to solve all of them. So we try to do the most good for the most users as fast as possible. We are **passionate but analytical = ? + ?**. We have strong opinions about how to improve our product, but we treat those opinions like scientific experiments. We are more concerned with knowing the truth than being right. We are **critical and constructive =** ? + ****?️. We regularly give feedback. If we see something that’s not working we quickly call it out: from technical problems to the way that we run product syncs. We are **all business owners =** ?‍? + ?‍?**.** We are a small team of high-impact product owners. Everybody has a seat at the table and everyone proposes new product ideas. We hold them to high standards and see them through from start to finish. We are **committed to diversity and fairness =** ?‍?‍?‍? + ⚖️. We are one of the few markets in the creator economy where 99% of the profits **don’t** go to 1% of creators. We love social gaming and are committed to including more folks from more backgrounds in the community.
