PipeCandy Snapshot
Internet & Web ServicesIndustry
We are an eCommerce market intelligence company. We track a few hundred thousand eCommerce companies and brands and predict their growth metrics.
We are a venture funded company with ~30 employees and are headquartered in the US. We work with the world's leading brands, Wall St. firms, and exciting startups.
We are a 'one-of-it's-kind' company that is using data science to build an understanding about a market at a massive scale and it has not been done before.
What you need to know about us:
1. We like doing new things and things that have not been attempted before.
2. We take pride in our work.
3. We push ourselves hard but at the same time be acutely aware that it's ultimately about people enjoying their work gaining global attention. For that to happen, it should be a fair workplace. We try to be that, every day.
4. We expect high performance. We give direct feedback. We believe that it is unfair for our colleagues if their work is affected because we stick with non-performing hires. If we have to let people go, we treat them with the utmost dignity.
5. Pioneering in a new space comes with some risks. We have taken risks.
Here's a story about pioneering and taking risks:
In early 2018, we had to take a very hard call of letting 50% of customers and 30% of employees go (as a part of our business didn't make sense). We take pride in the fact that a big part of that people whom we let go, started a company and we support them (they're in our office!) and we have been their only customer for over a year. We are super happy that we supported them even at the lowest of times!
We helped whoever was left find jobs in places we thought would be good for them. We went above and beyond our responsibility to ensure that they settle in their jobs as fast as possible.
Between early 2018 and now, we have grown 5 times in revenue.
6. We invest in developing ourselves. No one is above questioning. We ask our teams to keep us honest and stay focused. No decision, no policy is pushed. We are always open to reasoned debates.
7. We proactively fix issues. We are fair to reverse decisions in light of new information. We are not cynical.
8. Finally, we trust each of us to do the right things. At PipeCandy, we think trusting each other is more important than processes and policies.
