NONZERO

We believe in a world of abundance where individuals make more than they take. Nonzero Values push us to reject zero-sum thinking and lift up those around us.
Reliability
Especially in times of adversity.
Teammates
Carrying each other's burdens.
Unselfish Play
Honoring teammates above ourselves.
Clear Focus
Not conforming to the world's tired pattern.
Fearlessness
Standing our ground when our focus is tested.
Purpose
Finding total freedom and joy on the path of life.
While these values are timeless, we draw inspiration from the following dates
TEAMS
People are the building blocks of teams. However, it is culture that either lifts up or suppresses their innate abilities. Nonzero Teams execute their mission with Zero Mass Culture, built upon the following values.

Cooperative systems are the only way to progress in an entropic world. Nonzero fosters the symbiotic relationships that enable large-scale cooperation.

We build communities by breaking down barriers and bringing people together.
Struggle
We support each other as we embrace hard work, knowing we get out what we put in.
Inclusivity
We are inclusive and prioritize the newcomers.
Substance
We focus on delivering substantive value rather than the "flash" of being perceived as doing so.
