About Visible
Founded in 2014, Visible was launched by a group of founders and operators that had been struggling with the vexing (but all too common) problem of startups providing engaging updates to their investors.
What We Value
🔭Inside out: By taking care of ourselves first, we can better care for our team, customers, and stakeholders.
🪨 Do the difficult: Doing hard things is where value is created. We make decisions with a long-term outlook in favor of short-term gains.
👟 Bias for action: We have ownership over our work. When in doubt, we take action. Failure is ok and it's even better when we turn it into insights.
Working at Visible
We empower our people. As long as it is aligned with the company vision, everyone has a lot of liberty in choosing what to work on. We have a combined approach, both data-driven and user-driven. We work hard to create a culture where people ask questions and challenge what is being worked on.
Given that we are distributed, we end up working across multiple time zones and put an emphasis on being able to work asynchronously.
We document everything we do in Notion, Slack, and GitHub.
We use Slack for daily lightweight stand-ups.
We meet virtually as a team 3x per week. This typically includes an all-hands, product standup, and a fun wild card day (we often play codenames or jackbox.tv).
Offsites throughout the year for fun and strategic planning.
We have adopted a modified version of the "Shape Up" process that fits our business and workflow. It allows us to build a high-quality product, take time to cool down, and not have to worry about looking at roadmaps that will change in the next six weeks anyway.
