LIFE AT
PIRATE
WHERE WE CAME FROM
PIRATE has always stood for entrepreneurship, authenticy, and ARRRsome events. This where we have our roots: startup & tech conferences.
WHERE WE ARE TODAY
The way we host events has changed fundementally. But the way we create experiences didn’t: authentic, ARRRsome, online.
OUR VALUES
WORK LIKE A CAPTAIN,
PLAY LIKE A PIRATE
Working or having fun. That shouldn’t be either or. So while we put in the best work possible to deliver the best experiences imaginable, enjoying the process is never neglected. At the end of the day we’re still PIRATEs.
NOT ALL TREASURE IS
SILVER AND GOLD
Our biggest asset is the culture we foster and our crew members alike. Every single PIRATE co-shapes this culture and thereby creates a place they want to work in. This is what our founders wanted from the moment they set the foundation of this company.
GUIDING PRINCIPLES
1. Leadership is defined by followership
2. Ownership is accountability, not control
3. Speed is almost always more important
4. Information should be available to everyone by default
5. Everybody can always instigate change
6. Good decision-making implies alignment, not consensus
7. Decisions are temporary
8. Work is not a place but something you do
9. It’s better to beg for forgiveness than to ask for permission
10. Results count. Process matters
These principles guide us in our everyday life. They help us make the right decisions, choose where to go to or find the right crew members. They set the groundstone for the PIRATE culture that is highly influenced by an entrepreneurial spirit.
IT’S MORE FUN TO BE A PIRATE
THAN TO JOIN THE NAVY.
Being a PIRATE is a way of living. Many pioneers were pirates at heart and that’s what we embody here. Being a part of PIRATE goes beyond being an employee. Here are a few things you can expect if becoming one:
We don’t care
where you are
But rather what you do! We don’t measure the time you put in, but the value you generate. For you and for others. That’s why you will always have the possibility to work from wherever you are, whenever you want.
We’re not looking
for new colleagues
But rather for new mates. The culture at PIRATE is characterized by the familiar atmosphere, strong ownership spirit, and agile dynamics. A delicate balance between fun and professionalism.
PIRATE
university
We live by the motto “Give, give, give, ask” and therefore love sharing knowledge. The PIRATE University is a recurring format where PIRATES teach other PIRATES. No matter what it is. Do you burn for NoCode tools? Then share this love. Your hobby is public speaking? Teach others!
People
accelerator
It’s not about just having a job and getting things done. PIRATE supports you in laying a foundation for a path you want to follow. We will always support the undertakings for the personal and professional development of our crew members.
Trust-based
vacation policy
Trust is amongst our most valuable virtues. That’s why we also don’t count any of your vacation days. As long as we know that you’re getting things done. This is just as much a responsibility as it is a goodie. So embrace it.
To err is human,
to ARRR is PIRATE
Sh*t happens. And that’s alright. We expect it to happen. But at PIRATE we don’t look for who’s to blame but rather for how to improve next time. We endorse a trial and error culture.
