Specialists

At Parachute, we are all specialists. Because everyone at Parachute is a specialist in their area of expertise, everyone functions as their own independent unit, and gets full control and ownership of their work

Independence

Early on in Parachute’s history, we made the bold decision to reject venture capital and build an independent, financially-sustainable business. At the time, people thought we were crazy. We now see, more and more frequently, other companies doing the same (“More Start-Ups Have an Unfamiliar Message for Venture Capitalists: Get Lost”, NY Times). This means that we have full control of how we run our company. It also means that we don’t resort to dirty tricks and douchey tactics that have become normalized in way too many VC-funded startups (“It doesn’t have to be crazy at work”, DHH)

Integrity

We’ve all seen examples of toxic tech companies betraying their users’ trust in their relentless pursuit of growth. Products that were once fun to use have devolved into spammy abominations. At Parachute, our users are our investors. There are no VCs to appease. No growth tactics to resort to. Our mission is to simply do what’s best for our users every day, in exchange for a fair price

We have done more to push the limits of what technology can do to protect us in an emergency than anyone else out there. Working at Parachute, you will be exposed to an environment that revolves around fresh ideas, creativity and innovation

True Happiness

True happiness at work does not come from free snacks and beer. It comes from being in an environment where you are free to work on the things you like. It also comes from being free to choose where you work from, at what times and which days. There are no artificial deadlines. No useless meetings. No all nighters. You are free to work from whichever country you want, on whatever timezone you want, from home or from an office
