Mission, Vision, and Values

Mission

Our mission is to enable privately held companies from startups to small businesses and enterprises to share reliable information quickly and easily, so that they can better participate in the financial ecosystem.

Vision

In the future we see, all companies benefit from the same infrastructure as publicly traded companies without the onerous burdens they face. Equity is issued easily, investments are made confidently, credit is extended appropriately. Whether you're a ten person company or a thousand person company, being a company should be easy.

People should be free to associate in small, dynamic groups, building and iterating quickly, without sacrificing the ability to collaborate economically and participate in the global finance ecosystem.

There is a gap today between individual credit and S&P ratings. Between a checking account balance and an SEC 10-K. We aim to fill that gap.

Values

StartupOS is built on three key values:

• Transparency - We believe that sunlight is the greatest disinfectant, and that only through the adoption of radical transparency, can we build the small business and venture ecosystem the world deserves.

• Accuracy - Information that isn't accurate isn't true. It's that simple. Errors need to be acknowledged, corrected, communicated.

• Action - Information that can't be acted on isn't helpful. We try to share as little as each party needs to enable them to make the best decisions they can, and to integrate as tightly into those flows as we can to make that action seamless.
