Hey there!👋
Sometimes we go above and beyond trying to get new customers and prospects.
What are the things you’ll never do? What are your core values that you will never compromise on?
For me it would be working with Data Brokers and violating people’s right to privacy or spam them.
What about you?🤔

You are right on. I couldn't agree with you MORE, Noa. A No Compromise mentality with regard to customer protection will ultimately become the backbone of business success, no matter the state of the economy in the years to come.

As a founder, integrity and innovation are my bedrock values; I'll never compromise on delivering genuine value to our customers and constantly pushing the boundaries of what's possible. These principles guide every decision we make, ensuring our team not only achieves success but does so with a positive impact.
I think privacy is a funny thing now a days. It is my suggestion that you should be okay breaking these laws to make your business successful. Violating privacy laws on the level where it can actually hurt a person(financially or physically) is bad, it should not happen but normal privacy is ok to break. That's my thinking. It does not matter what I think since it's already happening.
@noa_kahalon Just like how so many companies know our name, contact number, email etc and pitch their products. They increase their sales. Just after registering our company, our data was leaked to so many companies who were asking - "hey do you want to create a website ?" , "Do you need this tool to increase sales ?" etc.
I understand your concern of data privacy but if you look clearly, privacy and human rights are just either used as weapon or as a business.
By the way, for an example, I hope you are aware of how much US loves human rights when it comes to other country and they use it as a weapon to change goverment in other countries.
@yogi_rahul and that’s exactly what I said well never do - use data brokers. I’m not American or the US government. If all you care about is earning a quick buck then go ahead but it *does* affect humans physically and financially (Cambridge Analytica for example)
As a founder, integrity and innovation are my non-negotiables; they're the bedrock of my approach to building a business that not only succeeds but also positively impacts our community and industry. Upholding these values ensures we're always moving forward, ethically and creatively.
Launching soon!
I will never fail to support my customers personally, be transparent, and communicate effectively :)
I think this is a very important question! Most people here seem to mainly talk just about success.
The "humanity formulation" of Kant's categorical imperative states my principle very well:
"Act such that you treat humanity, whether in your own person or in the person of any other, never merely as a means to an end, but always at the same time as an end [in itself]."
So I will not sell a product just to make money if I don't believe it is really beneficial to the customers. I will also clearly state both the known advantages and disadvantages, and back up my statements with research.
Of course I will also try to optimally protect the privacy of users and be fully transparent about it.
And maybe most importantly, I will always treat all employees fairly and try to purchase only from companies who do the same.
@noa_kahalon That's great to hear! I think Kant's statement really expresses how every company should act in the most general terms.
