Calling all culture champions! Are you here? As companies scale, I've seen them struggle to preserve their unique culture. Both at sclr labs and beyond, I've witnessed teams seamlessly integrate diverse talents and maintain their momentum like clockwork, and those who struggled the moment new members joined. This is why we're rallying for change! Raising the Bar (RTB LDN) is gearing up for an event focusing on this very topic. We want to spotlight companies at Series A and Series B stages that are setting the bar high for culture preservation. Here's where you come in: help us find these TRUE CULTURE CHAMPIONS! Those that excel in fostering teamwork and vibrant culture. Do you work for a company that makes you sing on Monday morning when you rush to work? Or have you seen one where every team member radiates enthusiasm and passion?Give them a shoutout in the comments.

We believe that it’s really important to come up with core values that you can commit to. And by commit, we mean that you’re willing to hire and fire based on them. If you’re willing to do that, then you’re well on your way to building a company culture that is in line with the brand you want to build.

We don't know about you, but May flew by! Our pop culture expert, Austin, is here to recap the top takeaways from this past month.

How the (insert your explicative of choice) do you plan an offsite for 50 people spread across the world?? Ironically, it was easier for us than planning one for 15.. As a team spanning 4 continents, offsites have been a huge pillar of Superfiliate's culture for the last 3.5 years. But, the thought of planning one for 50 people was pretty intimidating (and expensive) when I first thought about it. Somehow, we ended up doing it in 4 weeks... With the amount of momentum inside the company right now and the scale with which we're operating, our team could no longer handle the burden of every little logistical detail. And we shouldn't - there are better uses of everyone's time. So we started analyzing the many platforms and groups out there who do this for a living. While many of them were great, in true Superfiliate fashion, we decided to roll our own. We found an absolutely INCREDIBLE all-inclusive resort that will handle every last detail from airport transportation to meals to activities. They'll even help us organize a more formal team dinner where spouses and partners of teammates can join, and make it a really special experience for not just our teammates but the people most important to them as well. It's not the cheapest option from a cash perspective, but all things considered it was an obvious decision for us. As you grow up, you start to optimize for different things, and opportunity costs become much more real. Can't wait to share some photos when we get this incredible group together in a few months!

Creating a culture of abundance and love isn’t as hokey as it sounds. Instead, it’s one of the key starting points to a successful business. In my experience, if you don’t have a healthy team culture, you’ll struggle to get everything you want out of your business. A healthy team culture is created in an environment where people love coming to work and working with each other. Everyone uses their energy toward a common goal, with business owners leading the charge. If this is not your experience, maybe it’s time you dig deep and start creating an intentional culture built on abundance and love: https://lnkd.in/eqnjyNh2
