Our Values
Be persistent
What we aim to do is not always going to be easy, and problem-solving, no matter how big or small, is essential if we are going to achieve our mission. Whether it be a technical challenge you are struggling to unblock, a new client you are trying to win or a logistical puzzle you need to solve, the only way we will grow as a company and as individuals is by being persistent in working things through to a solution. Success seldom comes from the first attempt, but it almost always comes from the 1000th, and the difference between success and failure often isn’t persistently or the aha moment or the brilliant idea: it’s having the perseverance to continue pushing and never giving in to failure.
Be accountable
We operate in a fast-paced, highly collaborative and increasingly autonomous environment at Hypervolt. We are on the journey from a scrappy startup to a true market contender, but no matter how big the company gets, treat it as your own. Be accountable for its progress, and look after it as you would your creation. If you know things can be improved, articulate them, say them, and don’t go along in the silence of knowing we could have done better. If we make a mistake, find a way to say it. There’s no value in keeping it to yourself; we will succeed or fail together.
The ‘Ello Sir Ethos
We should always aim to treat people the way they want to be treated and always remember the “voting” power of customers. They are the actual boss and real “employer”—the market.
Dare to dream
Every technological advancement we use today was once a crazy dream that a few persistent pioneers truly believed. “Most things have to be seen to be believed, but some things have to be believed to be seen!” – Steve Jobs, on building the Apple Mac, the best-selling computer of all time.
Stay hungry, stay foolish.
The hunger and ambition for continuous success are the orbital solar beam-powered reactor at the core of our success, and our ability to stay foolish and humble and continue to let ourselves be educated by our market will help us reach the full potential of our ambition. Only through the most selfless dedication to our dreams will we achieve the most selfish of successes.
True Greatness is Blind
Great ideas and execution can come from anyone and anywhere at any time.
