Mission Our mission is to help bring creative projects to life. We believe that art and creative expression are essential to a healthy and vibrant society, and the space to create requires protection.
We don’t want art world elites and entertainment executives to define our culture; we want creative people—even those who’ve never made anything before—to take the wheel. We help creators connect directly with their communities, putting power where it belongs.
We are so committed to our mission, we wrote it into our business model. In 2015 we became a Public Benefit Corporation—a for-profit company that prioritizes positive outcomes for society as much as our shareholders. We updated our corporate charter to lay out specific goals and commitments to put our values into our operations, promote arts and culture, fight inequality, and help creative projects happen.
Description We’ve adopted a fully virtual and flexible work environment that lets employees decide when and where they're most productive. Our team works to make the world a more vibrant and creative place. We give them time and space to enjoy it.
As of April 2022, we’re currently experimenting with a four-day workweek (Monday through Thursday, 32 hour work week with no reduction in pay) and new asynchronous work practices.
