1440 ranked 79th on the Inc. Magazine 5000 fastest-growing companies list.

Below are 1440’s top 16 principles and strategies we’ve learned to build a successful, durable team. This is a never-ending, always-evolving work in progress. What strategies and principles do you use to build company culture? Any insights to offer, or guidance on strategies our team should consider? #companyculture #media #peoplefirst
🔥 Principle No. 17 -- have the most generous, visionary leaders out there!
Congrats, Tim, to you and your teams! I love the line above! Because, "if you have to watch over employees, you've hired the wrong people. And if you've hired the right people, and you still have to watch over them, it's not the employees that are the problem." I have long wanted a news source or aggregator that I can get JUST THE NEWS and FACTS. And then an AGGREGATOR that doesn't FEED me stories I once clicked on. For example, an Elon Musk story I clicked on a year ago. I still get fed stories headlining Elon. I hate it. I want to pick and choose from available news, like a NP or like 1440. Thanks for your startup. Congrats, again!
A former publisher was fond of saying, "It's better to have someone with too much fizz than not enough; you can restrain the former, but you can't add fizz to the latter."
Congratulations Tim Huelskamp !!! As a1440 subscriber, this is heartwarming to see. All 16 principles are on point and are reflected in the quality of what lands in my inbox each day. The personalization weaved throughout each strategy shows that business is about people and if the people aren't happy, then what's the point of it all? Wishing you all continued success!👏🏾👏🏾
Congratulations on the growth, and even more so growing it with such thoughtful guiding principles 👏
Congratulations on the impressive growth and retention! Your commitment to building a strong team culture shines through. One key principle we emphasize is fostering open communication and continuous learning to adapt and thrive together.
all leaders should take note! This is what amazing leadership looks like. 👏
Congratulations on your growth, retention, and providing a great product to your customers! I’ve been inspired and amazed by 1440’s journey and look forward to you continuing to innovate and build a talented team!

8moLove you sharing this with the world, especially since so many companies are focused on money-first, people second because they believe it has to be one or the other. You are proving that it can be both/and. If more companies did what you do, what a different world this might be.
