People and Health First - Crypto Sapiens is built with everyone’s health put first. Only if we prioritize mind and body (mental health, sleep, nutrition, exercise, nature, community) can you, our team, and the community perform to our best.
Collaboration Second - We believe that an organization can be most effective with a combination of hierarchical and cooperative structures. We use innovative processes and tools to optimize for meaningful collaboration, enjoyable work, and high-end creative output.
We encourage everyone to share how they feel any day they are collaborating with others. This helps everyone get an idea of your current mental and physical health, balance your stress levels and potentially suggest an alternative schedule in serious cases. We also strongly advise everyone to prioritise sleep, good nutrition and regular exercise.
Producing the highest quality of work can not depend on monetary incentives. We encourage each other to always speak the truth, even if it may be uncomfortable (obviously without being insulting). Internally this means frequent feedback rounds to each other and project retrospectives. Externally, we don't "sell" work but consult client teams with the best decision for them.
Meetings with 3+ people are not productive, due to the exponential increase in information content and complexity in conversation threads. As soon as we need to work on something with more than 2 individuals, we should run a structured workshop. If a 1:1 conversation takes too long in Slack, we jump on a video call right away.
Work has a long history of negative connotations. We believe that every activity is work and choosing the work we love contributes to a meaningful life. Only if each individual thinks that their work is meaningful and has a purpose, the result will be exceptional. Crypto Sapiens tries to constantly automate the work that is not perceived as meaningful while retaining the work we love doing.
