Being an Upwinder

We are Driven by Customers

We listen closely to understand our customers’ deepest pain points, working backwards to deliver easy-to-use, innovative solutions that not only meet immediate needs, but anticipate future ones.

We prioritize long-term relationships and value over short term outcomes, striving to exceed expectations and reinforce our customers’ trust in Upwind.

We value speed

We make decisions swiftly, recognizing many can be reversed or refined.

We believe in failing fast, and aren’t afraid to change course when necessary. With a bias for action we take calculated risks – even in the face of uncertainty – knowing that urgency drives momentum and propels us forward.

Speed doesn’t just get us there faster; it lets us adapt quickly and build on each step with what we learn.

We Improve Every Day

We believe in the power of incremental progress: every day, every meeting, and every decision is an opportunity to improve.

Committing to getting 1% better with each cycle creates compounding gains, allowing us to build products that are 10x better over time.

Improvement doesn’t stop with delivery; we follow up, adapt, and refine to ensure every outcome evolves towards excellence.

We Take Ownership

We get the job done and never assume that someone else will do it.

When things aren’t going right, we take responsibility and step in to fix it. No task is beneath us, and “it’s not my job” isn’t in our vocabulary.

As owners, we stay aligned with the bigger picture for Upwind, communicating efficiently, giving constructive feedback, and proactively escalating issues to keep everyone moving forward together.

We are Resourceful and Resilient

We create our own reality, accomplishing more with less by leaning on creative problem-solving & adaptability.

When we face constraints and the path forward isn’t clear, we find ways to make it work without sacrificing quality or our commitment to high standards.

We see setbacks as new opportunities to innovate, moving forward stronger and better prepared.

We Lead with Humility

We approach every interaction with humility, respecting and learning from others.

We hold ourselves accountable, publicly owning mistakes and using them as stepping stones for growth.

Integrity guides us to act in the best interests of the team, fostering a culture of trust, shared purpose, and mutual growth.
