Act like an owner.
We are all owners of Forage. We are biased towards action and accountability. We seek out problems and we solve them. We finish what we start and no task is beneath us. We take incremental steps to make Forage better tomorrow than it is today.

We celebrate others, admit our mistakes, assume positive intent, and invest in our people so that we can be our true selves and do our best work. “If you want to go fast go alone, if you want to go far go together” - African Proverb.
And we’re just getting started.
We are dedicated to building for the long-term. We fundamentally believe that our work has only just begun and that our most important work has yet to be done.
