Our mission is to augment human work with machine intelligence. Tools augment our capacity to create — however, they can also be a limiting factor in maximizing efficiency. We're looking to build and design tools to unleash the full potential of human ability and creativity by better interpreting and catalyzing human intent into output — not only through better models but also through better interfaces.

### At Cohere, our mission is to build machines that understand the world, and to make them safely accessible to all. Wait, wait, wait - what does that mean? Cohere is aiming to become the default platform developers use to create NLP systems. Today, to build a chatbot or search application, you need to be a machine learning engineer with a PhD. But we need to lower the bar for developers to be able to build these systems. And in order to do that, Cohere is building a toolkit for developers that's accessible and focused on the use cases that they want to build NLP systems for. It's about getting more people building and experimenting with this technology.

### **👩‍🏫 Teachers spend way too much time on work other than teaching.**

Like planning lessons, taking attendance, preparing tests, grading them, 100s of admin tasks, and more. Most teachers are overworked and underpaid. We want to free up their time so that they can focus on more meaningful activities like spending time with students who need extra love and care.

### **🙇🏻‍♂️ Most students don’t really engage with or enjoy their classroom activities.**

You have a test on Monday? Your weekend is ruined. You sit through classes not because you want to but because it’s forced on you. We just try to make students *want* lessons, practice, and assessments.

\-

🎯 We started out with just doing one thing really well. Assessments. Teaching is like stand-up comedy. The same way comedians hone their material by getting feedback from their audience, teachers need to get feedback from their students. Comedians can figure out what’s working and what’s not working with how much the audience is laughing and on what. Teachers need to know this too but there’s no fast and reliable way to do it. This is what Quizizz provides.

🎮 For students we turned these assessments from stress chambers to something a lot more easy-going, and fun. From something they want to avoid at all costs, to something they look forward to. We turn assessments into a multiplayer game—a classroom experience.

Currently, we’re retiring from just being an assessment(tests and exams) platform. **We are becoming a complete learning platform**. We want to apply the lessons we learned while building our assessments product to all the other activities teachers do during classes.

It's not a requirement, but we certainly love to see it - especially in a technical tool like Deepnote where our users work heavily with Python and SQL. If you are interested in adding coding to your skills, we would be happy to help you get there and give you every opportunity to do so!

Personal well-being is key at Cohere!

* We offer competitive medical benefits, that include mental health access

### **We are designing memorable learning experiences for 70 million students in more than 100 countries. We are the Quizizz design team.**

### **📢 We are open to receiving and giving direct feedback.**

The only way we can keep improving as individuals, and as a team is through feedback. Recognise that being receptive to feedback is the single biggest growth multiplier. In a team setting, doing this builds trust within the team. And trust is the foundation of teams that make a meaningful impact.

🤝 When giving feedback, **our aim is to assist**, and to make sure the feedback is actionable. Giving direct feedback isn’t a pass for us to be jerks.

For eg. if we find a meeting unproductive, and the feedback we give is *“this meeting didn’t need me, and it was a waste of my time”*—this is jerk feedback. Instead better feedback looks like *“if you share the agenda in advance, then I can decide if I can be useful in this discussion or not in advance”*

💜 When receiving feedback, **make sure you appreciate the person giving you the feedback**. Then either accept or discard the feedback using your own judgment.

### **📈 We deliver impact.**

When we start working on a project, we focus a lot of our energy on figuring out why we’re doing this project, and what is the desired outcome. It’s our job to have clarity on both of these questions. Only then we start doing what we do i.e. design.

After having a clear understanding of what a successful outcome is, we leave no stone unturned in order to meet the outcome. And we tie the design decisions to this successful outcome.

💡 More often than not, the chances of success after shipping the first iteration will be low. **Learn from what went wrong, and go back at it again.**

### 🛠 **We have a bias towards action.**

*Getting stuck is fine. Not asking for help to get unstuck is not fine.*

*Calling out blockers that are not being resolved is fine. Being aware of the blockers and shrugging from calling it out is not fine.*

Recognising that the situation will never be perfect, but we will still have to act is important. **Inaction is not an option.**

### **🏁 We take things to the finish line. Fast.**

We take ownership. We recognise that what we do on our design software isn’t the design, it’s what gets used by a user. We ship.

The only edge an org of our size over the Googles and Microsofts of the world is that we are nimble, we can change our direction, we can move fast. And recognising this being a part of the Quizizz design team is important. We also take pride in never being the dependency. **We set a planned deadline, and we meet that deadline.**

### **🤌🏽 But we don’t use speed as an excuse for quality.**

We move fast but that doesn’t mean we trade off on quality of software we ship. iPod was a breakthrough in technology back in 2001. It exuded quality like nothing else did. It went from idea to people’s hands in a span of 290 days.

If we’re using speed as an excuse of quality what we’re really doing is saying that good design has to be slow, when there’s evidence that suggests otherwise.

### **🤓 We are professionals. We show up everyday.**

We don’t reward people who have moments of brilliance. We reward people who consistently deliver impact. **Consistency over perfection.**

But why? Because when you are consistent, you signal your team members that this is the least you can expect from me. That makes it easier for the team to figure out what they can really achieve with you, and how they can hold you accountable.

**Short answer: We’re figuring it out.**

Long answer: We embarked on this journey to promote a culture of feedback so that every designer can elevate their game. We see its value first hand. Every one of us has different expertise, there’s an overlap, but the way each one of us thinks is different. So, bringing everyone with diverse perspectives has been invaluable.

But as a team, we are still hesitant to show our work. We are figuring out how to set the stage, ask for pointed feedback, format that works the best, etc.

**With critiques, the end goal is simple — consistently get better at giving and receiving feedback.**

We are a Web3 venture studio that invents and launches breakthrough products with our full-stack team of engineers, product managers, designers, growth hackers, economists, and builders.

To question the status quo and repeatedly build industry-leading products creating a net-positive in the Web3 ecosystem.

We contribute meaningfully to strategize, guide and co-build Web3 products emphasizing:\
**\
Collaboration and Community** over Technology and Tools\
\
**Value Creation** over Value Capture\
\
**Connecting the Dots** over Building in Silo\
\
**Unleashing Human Potential** over Maximizing Capital Gains\
\
That is, while there is value in the items on the right, we value the items on the left more.

Our website is [Spartanlabs.studio](https://spartanlabs.studio)\
\
We also curate a channel of Web3 culture and ideas [there](https://spartangroup.notion.site/Channel-3a003539185b4c8b8072f899c2f642bc).

We are a small design team (of 2!) way too excited about data science and analytics tooling. We believe that legacy tools are not keeping up with how modern teams work and we are on a mission to create the next generation of collaborative interfaces that help us think better.

We use an overwhelming amount of Figma with all the latest nifty features, mainly for our design system. In addition to Figma, we love to use Sprig to talk to our customers (all of us talk to a customer on a regular basis, from engineering, through design to sales) or productboard to capture and analyze relevant user feedback.

We're a group of designers and engineers who have been working on automating customer support. We started our work by conducting research from first-principles and asking the important questions:

How can we most effectively help agents resolve customer issues? And how can we help team leads and executives understand and visualize what's going on in their support organization?

We then started designing an experience to augment support agents, visualize issue types, and creating relevant automations.

**Station wants to make meaningful work accessible to everyone online, regardless of who you are and where you are.**

We believe in a future where people are no longer fungible assets of corporations, but proud owners of their own vision, ideas, and relationships. To us, work transcends geographic borders, physical identity, and disciplines. Work is an expression of love, integrated symbiotically into our lives and the greater community.

Crypto networks demonstrate the potential of decentralized human coordination when incentives align and a shared goal is well understood. Without a centralized body, Bitcoin created the best-performing asset class of the decade, and Ethereum became the world’s fastest-growing computing platform. We look to do the same for digitally-native workers — to align incentives for the world's most ambitious builders to come together and form fluid organizations.

Dogfooding what we build is core to our culture. We walk the talk by maintaining experimental organizational culture and testing everything we build, from products to organizational structure. We aren’t here to participate in the attention war of Web3, but we’re dedicated to creating a compelling place for the best talent to shine, enabling them to have complete ownership over the goals they set out to accomplish.\
\
We want innovators and entrepreneurs with a propensity towards craft and service — those who find fulfillment in problem-solving and making someone’s day just a bit more delightful. By emphasizing these traits, we do more with less: higher performance with a tighter community of builders. We don’t want top-down management, and nobody ‘reports to’ anybody else. People simply collaborate on ‘initiatives’ and recognize each other for the great work they do.\
\
The lack of hierarchy doesn’t equate to the lack of leadership. In fact, we expect each one of us to be leaders, and we all have expectations to steer the culture forward, to set the standard of what it’s like to build a high-performing team without compromising on ownership, creativity, and autonomy.\
\
We strongly encourage each of our full-time contributors to spend 10% of their working hours contributing to other projects in the ecosystem. We want to be known not only as the best builders, but the best contributors in Web3. **Period.**
