Something that will fundamentally change the way people deal with their money.

So, if we want to reach our lofty goals (global domination, naturally), we need the right people to get us there. Bold, fearless minds who aren’t afraid to challenge the status quo (or the CEO), who can tackle the impossible, and who have more follow-through than Federer.

Our Leadership Principles

Obsess about the customer

Customers buy experiences, not features. Start with the customer and work backwards. Leaders work hard to impact customers' lives, earn their trust, and create delight.

Extreme Ownership

Curvers are owners of Curve and their work. They take personal responsibility. They remind their team about the bigger picture and the 'why'. They embrace failures and gratitude the team for the wins. They constantly seek for possible ways to increase the team's efficiency, and disregard functional boundaries to deliver value to the entire company. They don't sacrifice long-term value for short-term results. They are in the details, see things through to completion, and never say 'that's not my job'.

Think Big & Innovate

Everything is possible. Leaders challenge assumptions, build on previous discovers, and suggest better approaches. They are focused, bold, adaptable and resourceful.

Build. Measure. Learn.

Leaders keep learning, improving, and striving to learn the 'why'. They are intellectually curious about the new possibilities and explore them. They move quickly into action and shorten the time to first feedback. They seek diverse views, form good judgement, apply rigour, and measure impact to drive improvement.

Automate & Accelerate

Once leaders discover the right thing to do, they eliminate manual steps and address more complex problems. Make manual work redundant, and focus back on the Mission.

Bias for Action

Speed matters in business. Many decisions and actions are reversible and do not require extensive study. Leaders identify easily reversible decisions and move into action. We value calculated risk taking.

Earn Trust

Leaders listen attentively, speak candidly, and treat others respectfully. They are vocally self-critical, even when doing so is awkward and embarrassing. They believe relationships and collaboration are the foundation for producing good outcomes. They follow through on their commitments, and communicate often with honesty and intent.

Obligation to Dissent

Leaders are obliged to respectfully challenge decisions when they disagree, even if doing so is uncomfortable or exhausting. Leaders have conviction and are passionate. They do not compromise for the sake of social cohesion. And, once a decision is made, they commit wholly.

Hire & Develop the Best

Leaders raise the performance bar with every hire and promotion. They apply the Keepers' Principle, recognise exceptional talent, and develop them purposefully. Leaders develop Leaders and take their role in coaching others seriously.

Deliver Results

Leaders recognise that it takes an investment of time and effort to achieve greatness. They strive for perfection, but settle for excellence in every part of their work. They have the courage to admit when they're wrong. They care about accomplishing great work, and reward impact. Despite setbacks, they rise to the occasion and never compromise.
