Rip Van

????????Rip Value 7/7: Be a Snow Dog ???????? Our 7th and final value. “Be a Snow Dog” At Rip Van we are inspired by the scene of pack of snow dogs running swiftly in one direction. In unison, synchrously mobilizing a sled. The synchronous effort & combined momentum of the snowdogs is a metaphor for great team work. And the the mobilized sled is a metaphor for combined output. We believe in the power of team work. That a few people working together can achieve great things. That the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. At Rip Van we take total ownership, we watch out for each other, help each other, learn from each other & make each other better. We default to best intentions. #culture #values #team #collaboration #complimentary #sum #parts #effort #work #momentum #help #positive #teamwork #effort #output #together

????Rip Value 6/7: Be Curious ???? At Rip Van, we believe that a novel idea or an insight can make all the difference. In fact, most of the major inflection points in our business can be linked back to a corresponding novel idea or insight. Disruption and change usually don’t stem from the status quo. It’s the curiosity and beginner's mindset that births original thought and novel ideas. With a meritocratic culture, we take a total company approach to embracing the curiosity mindset. Discussing novel ideas is encouraged across Rip Van, and we believe that a great idea can and should come from all parts of our organization. As novel ideas precipitate, we stress-test our assumptions and run real-life experiments to help evaluate our hypotheses.
