🤩 So what is Column/?

GREAT Q. We're building a social network for everyone who sees the value of signal over noise, where people on Column/ actually gain status for their expertise, and get a real world value for the way they interact with their community. Column/ is an information economy — we don't need to obsessively track and advertise to our users — we just enable engaging discussions based on truth and quality. Some of our future efforts will focus on Web3-ifying our ecosystem so that it can be truly decentralized, anonymous, and secure.

🙋‍♀️ Team, culture—the good stuff

This is a favorite. We've seen all the template stuff usually posted; that's not us. Here are some core values that give you a sense of who we are as a team:

We're super interlinked. Everyone is an expert in their area, and knows a lot about the other areas. So each of us is focused on our part while being perfectly capable to assist everyone else with what they need to get done. We know what we are working on and aren’t clueless. We're transparent—everyone knows what we're each working on, how we're doing, etc. Work time ain't playtime. We take our work seriously. We're a tight knit group changing social networks forever. We're connected to and backed by well known investors and experts who are involved in what we're doing. We're a lot more than colleagues.

Not convinced yet? Ok, here are some fun stuff (with lots more to come):

We're fully remote. Beaches of Uruguay, mountains of Pakistan, streets of NYC—it's all good. We take all of our team's inputs seriously. If you're in your position, you're the expert, and we will trust you.
