✪ A list of questions and topics covered are below ✪

1. Were all six values documented at GitLab’s inception?
2. While the top-level values are somewhat common across organizations, the sub-values strike me as highly unique and serve to describe the nuance in what makes GitLab unique. Would you agree with that?
3. “Loss of the values that bind us” is in our Biggest Risks. We’re working to surface them as early as possible to applicants and make sure that new hires are given time to ingest them, but what else do you think the company needs to do as we scale?
4. Do you feel that all departments are given equal opportunity to internalize the values during onboarding? How are those in sales, compensated based on quota, encouraged to take time learning values rather than jumping straight into sales?
5. I was shocked at how real the values felt when I joined. Many feel like traps. Embracing GitLab values could get you blackballed or terminated at other organizations. How can we ensure that people give themselves permission to drop prior organizational baggage and embrace a fresh start and new values?
6. What’s the recommended approach for speaking up when you feel that values aren’t being lived (or they simply aren’t understood/someone isn’t aware of them)?
7. Many of the values seem to express a desire to not pass judgement on colleagues. In prior organizations, I’ve felt that a lack of perfection could lead to reprimand — that every move would be heavily judged. Is it intentional that GitLab’s values promote a less judgmental and more trusting atmosphere? What benefits have you seen from this, and why don’t more companies do this?
8. Does the Values Hierarchy exist to resolve disputes when two or more values could be argued to support two different outcomes?
9. Do you have a desire to see other companies copy and implement GitLab’s values? Have you seen any companies do this to date?
10. Have investors or outside parties remarked on our values in meaningful ways that you’d like to share?
11. Have you thought about new ways to reinforce our values? How would you recommend a team member propose new ways to reinforce values? An MR to our values page?

Thank you for your interest in GitLab — you're awesome!

Mahalo & aloha!

On this podcast from GitLab Commit Brooklyn, we’re discussing all the latest announcements, heroes, and exciting conversations taking place. We’re joined by GitLab CEO & Co-Founder Sid Sijbrandij, to take us through the myriad of news coming out of this inaugural event.

Traction Conf Vancouver 2019: http://tractionconf.io presented by Launch Academy, Boast.AI, and Microsoft for Startups.

GitLab is extreme, even for Silicon Valley: It has no headquarters and everyone works remotely, even the CEO.

The startup has more than 700 employees in 54 countries and plans to raise its headcount to about 1,000 by year-end.

In this session, CEO Sid Sijbrandij shares his playbook for building a hypergrowth company entirely remote, explaining how they adapted from remote engineering to remote sales, how they keep their culture in check, why being remote-only leads to higher company productivity, and key measures to have in place to drive growth with a remote team.

Moderated by Frederic Lardinois, TechCrunch.

GitLab Co-founder & CEO, Sid Sijbrandij, Thrive Global CTO, Cheryl Porro, and InVision Vice President, Mike Davidson, sit down with Stewart Aslop, host of the Crazy Wisdom podcast, to discuss the relationship between building a startup and the unrelenting stress it can cause on remote workforces. From meditation apps to 20-min virtual coffee chats, the panel shares how getting creative and instilling a mindful culture can break down silos with remote teams, promote employee well-being, and boost engagement.

The panel also shares lessons learned from their journey to a high-growth startup, tips on staying motivated, and how to stay sane in a not always sane environment.

Sid Sijbrandij is a co-founder and CEO of GitLab, a DevOps platform valued at $1.1 billion. From the amoCONF stage, he tells his story of building a global company made entirely of remote workers, as well as outlining the unique advantages of an open-source business model.


amoCONF 2018 gathered 1500 entrepreneurs at the innovation hub of the world - San Francisco, where successful entrepreneurs share the experience and the inspiration to succeed.
