A note on our culture

We’re building a new kind of company at Seed&Spark. One where you don’t have to check your humanity at the door. We’re cultivating a culture that’s empowering and equally fosters personal and professional growth. A culture that prioritizes getting to the best idea, regardless of where it originated. One that is flexible enough for us to lead rich, creative lives outside of work. One that acknowledges that when you spend this many of your waking hours together, it should feel like family.
