Our trajectory is fueled by top investors like Founders’ Fund, Stripe, General Catalyst, Caffeinated Capital, 8vc, Elad Gil, among other great angels. Pulley is growing quickly with over 4,000 customers including startups like Linear, Runway, Fathom, and Roam, and we’re growing the team to meet the demand.

Here are some traits that enable our team members to thrive:First Principles Thinking - We believe in breaking down problems into their most basic parts, and that something is possible unless proven otherwise. We understand “why did certain things work?” and apply it to our situation. Ship It & Iterate - We value people who not only generate ideas but also do the work to bring them to life. Instead of fixating on outcomes, we focus on the inputs we can control and take our best bets. We move quickly to ship something, talk to users, get feedback, and iterate. Boldly Honest & Aggressively Considerate - Being boldly honest means challenging each other to set and hit goals, and make the right strategic decisions on what to build. Being aggressively considerate means caring about one another as humans and speaking up with empathy so we can succeed together as a team. Ego-less Learner - Everyday at Pulley, we’re trying things that we’ve never done before - sometimes they work; sometimes they don’t. It’s important to embrace the mindset of a beginner - stay curious, open to feedback, and ready to learn and grow alongside the team.
