Keen IO

Here at Keen we spend a lot of time thinking about culture. This habit extends as far back as Keen has existed, since we’ve always been inspired not only by a product mission, but also by the question of how to build the type of organization where people love to work.

We recently went through a company-wide exercise to take this thinking a step further and create explicit Mission and Values statements that feel real to us and uniquely Keen. We’re excited to share them now.

Mission: Turn Explorers into Discoverers

We rallied around this Mission because it encompasses how we feel about everything we’re building at Keen. On the product side, we’re building a flexible analytics platform that makes it easy for people to collect and explore their data and discover new insights about their business, products, and customers. On the company side, we’re bringing together curious, open-minded humans eager to run experiments, learn new things, and keep growing as people.

In terms of culture, the Mission also feels very Keen. It connects to our love of exploration and discovery at the grandest celestial scale, and it also hints at our more playful side, since ‘discoverers’ is, after all, a word we kind of made up.

Values

To support the Mission, we came up with a specific set of Values that have always been a part of who we are, but weren’t clearly defined until now.
