Pirates and Pyrotechnics: A Very StellarFi Offsite

Disclaimer: No StellarFi employees were blown up, karate-chopped, forced to walk the plank, or engulfed in a raging inferno during the making of this company offsite.

Here’s StellarFi’s controversial perspective on “company culture”:

Company culture isn’t something you create…it’s something you nurture.?

The culture of a company exists in the humans who work there. And it only thrives if you give those humans an environment in which they can be their authentic selves, build relationships, and take risks.

That’s why we gathered our team in Austin, TX to dance with pirates and jump off buildings. No, seriously…we did!

Day 1: StellarFi’s pirate crew sets sail

Pillaging and plank-walking aside, StellarFi operates much like a pirate ship. We take chances, we stay nimble, we chart a bold course, and we keep our eyes on the treasure (building credit for our members, of course).

Perhaps that’s why the StellarFi crew seemed so comfortable setting sail through the waters of Lake Austin!

Business finance joke: What’s a pirate’s favorite subscription economy metric? A.R.ARRRRR!

The cupid shuffle must be tricky with a peg leg.

We also had fajitas. Surely pirates used to eat fajitas?

Moving on!

Day 2: Real-life StellarFi superheroes?

We started the day with a special (and pretty emotional) community service event, which we'll share about soon.

After that, we went to….A STUNT RANCH.

Ever seen a software developer leap from a three-story building? Or an accountant blowing up a car? How about a CEO throwing axes?

The StellarFi crew witnessed those things and MORE. And we have the pics to prove it:

In 2022, we launched our product. In 2023, we’re launching PEOPLE!

Startup employees are naturally fearless.

Number nerd? I think you mean ACTION MOVIE SUPERHERO.

The coolest part? Watching the crew encourage each other to conquer their fears!?

Remote work, close teams

Though we are located all over the world, the StellarFi squad is a tight-knit bunch.?

Every day, we virtually share ideas, meetings, projects, and designs. But at our epic offsite, we got to share things in person:?Dance moves. Karaoke mics. Magic tricks. Even tapas.

From pirate hats to pyrotechnics, we learned one thing: the StellarFi culture is one of ADVENTURE.
