We’d rather be better than right
You know how most meetings are really about everyone just trying to look smart, prove they’re right, or show they aren’t to blame for the thing that went wrong? That doesn’t happen at NationBuilder. We want to grow, we want to learn, we want to be better. It can be challenging, but honest feedback and growth are more important to us than being comfortable.

It’s more than the internationalization of the software, it's also about bringing across the core ideas, mission and vision of the company and adapting it to the European market.”

We just say the thing
Saying what you really think, admitting how you really feel, or asking what you really want to ask isn’t always easy. But not being honest just gets in the way of creating together. When we stop being polite and start getting real, our community gets stronger and we make better decisions. Empathy is not protecting each other’s feelings. It’s respecting each other enough to say what’s true.

We seek data and wisdom to make the best decisions
We are audacious enough to believe that humanity connected can accomplish anything, but humble enough to know that, as humans, we often lie to ourselves about what we’re accomplishing. So we seek data to overcome our blind spots and wisdom to overcome our limitations.
