Ensuring a good fit

COMMON is dedicated solely to ideas and projects that take care of the planet and all the creatures on it. Our criteria:

YOU ACT FOR THE COMMON GOOD BY:

  • Creating and sharing social value, rather than extracting and hoarding it.
  • Being friendly to the planet and the creatures on it.
  • Doing good, not bad.

YOU DO SHIT THAT MATTERS BY:

  • Dedicating yourself to doing what’s needed, not what’s frivolous.
  • Disrupting the status quo.
  • Being well-designed and wildly functional.

YOU’RE RUN BY FEARLESS, UNCOMPROMISING, AND KIND PEOPLE WHO:

  • Understand that fear is the mortal enemy of creativity.
  • Stick by their values under pressure.
  • Believe that everyone needs a hug every now and then.
