In this document we describe our mission and vision that we set out to achieve, the principles that make us love being a part of OAK’S LAB, and the values we firmly live by.

We are a creative ecosystem specializing in building businesses, architecting software and educating the future leaders of tech.

We take pride in our culture. It is intangible, unique and sets us apart from all the others. Since day one, we have done everything in our power to extend the impenetrable brotherly bond between our founders to every single person in OAK’S LAB. We are more than a company. We are a family.

We are OAK’S LAB.

Mission

We are committed to architect the best possible solutions to improve life and the world.

Vision

OAK’S LAB is the hub of all groundbreaking global innovation.

We follow a moral compass.

It is the duty of humanity to elevate life and the world, in order for everyone to live in harmony, happiness, and comfort. Today, more than ever, our planet and people are in need of protection. It is our obligation to lead from our position of influence. Thus, we are determined to:

• Combat human contribution to climate change
• Provide equal opportunity to all genders and races
• Help all beings in need

We are a family.

Companies are incorporated to generate profits. We were incorporated to bring together a group of ambitious people, place them in a stimulating yet incubated environment, and allow them to achieve their wildest dreams. Our founders are brothers who are loyal, selfless and will do anything for each other and everyone in the OAK’S fam. This has created a legendary crew that loves being around each other, working together, hanging out together, partying together and achieving greatness together. Family is engraved in our DNA:

• We go out of our way to welcome and integrate our newest members
• We are diverse, supportive and stick up for each other
• We are all friends in and out of the office

We set egos aside, we disregard assholes, and we’re selective.

We are very careful of who we let in to the OAK’S fam. Our hiring process is diligent and intimate. Rotten apples rarely make it inside, and when they do, we band together to pick them out quickly. Our culture is a super chill atmosphere where everybody is friendly, up-beat and respects each other for who they are. Having no ego means:

• We are positive, easy going and pleasant to be around
• We are able to take constructive criticism
• We have no problem admitting our mistakes

We love building things from scratch.

OAK’S LAB is self-funded and built from nothing but hard work, determination and drive to achieve greatness. We are all convinced that anything is possible. We are irrepressible when we see a seed in front of us and we can dream up a giant tree. Transforming raw ideas to tangible solutions is the OAK’S ethos and it is why we get up in the morning pumped up to take on the world.

We all shape the direction OAK’S LAB is headed in.

Everyone in the fam plays an important role in fulfilling the OAK’S LAB mission and vision, taking us all one step closer to success. We incorporate the goals of our people in the goals of OAK’S. We try to stay as flat as possible and always care about the well-being of people along the way. We take the time to work with everyone individually to ensure they have a say in where we are going and stay motivated along the way.

We pay homage to THE OOO WAY.

We have conceptualized, tested and proven THE OOO WAY which is a system for technology startup builders to follow on their path from ideation to success. THE OOO WAY is the new Agile ... and more. It is our secret sauce. It is living documentation that we continuously evolve and optimize. Its all-encompassing framework consists of guidelines, checklists and templates for every process and every department. It is what our successful business relies on.

We understand the importance of THE OOO WAY and diligently follow it. It adds structure to the unnecessary chaos present in most early stage startups. It keeps our teams focused, efficient and moving quickly while producing top quality results. This keeps our people united, achieving great things and having fun along the way.
