Mission
We strengthen businesses with the power of the independent workforce by building blended, human-centered teams.
Our Values
These values are more than words on paper, they are a decision-making framework that we apply across our business relationships as we hold ourselves accountable.
Community
We come together in collective action to nurture a community that lifts one another up and prioritizes economic access & representation. Together, and with intention, we achieve more than we ever will alone.
Impact
Entrepreneurs at our core, we care deeply and take ownership for how we show up in the world. Individually and in community, we operate in highest & best use, measuring success in outcomes not output.
Stewardship
We believe in service plus advocacy. It is with great responsibility that we leverage the resources of our clients’ investments in us and our own corporate dollars to leave all things better than we found them.
Courage
With determination and resilience, we lead. True to our word, emphatic in our actions. Our stride is long and heads are held high, as we push the boundaries of what is accepted in pursuit of what is possible.
