Further reading:Cake’s culture is rooted in the entrepreneurial spirit of our founder, TrantorBuilding on this foundation, our culture grows from the mindset of “Think Big. Start Small. Act Fast.” into four Cultural Values and Core Competencies:#1 Think Big - First Principles ThinkingBefore pursuing innovation, we must first understand the fundamental principles of how things work.At Cake, we constantly challenge our limits and unlock potential. Only by breaking free from conventional frameworks can we create new possibilities. Both in science and entrepreneurship, the concept ofFirst Principles Thinkingis often emphasized—a method that strips away assumptions and traces back to fundamental truths and principles.This deep understanding and essence-driven exploration form the cornerstone of innovation, enabling us to approach challenges and opportunities with more effective and creative solutions instead of being constrained by existing norms.
#2 Start Small - Lead through ActionBottom-up decision-making helps the company continuously innovate and accelerates individual growth.With transparent and accessible information, anyone can leverage insights to make decisions that benefit the company. Before making a decision, given our culture of continuous and timely feedback, decision-makers can gather ideas from others, increasing the likelihood of successful outcomes.Ideas have no value until they are put into practice. We embrace the MVP mindset.We encourage everyone to quickly turn their ideas into a minimum viable product—whether it’s a pitch deck, an ad, a landing page, or an email template—and bring it to market to receive the most authentic feedback.#3 Win Together - Collaborative CommunicationWith a high density of talent, transparent information creates opportunities.At Cake, we freely share information with others and expect that this flow will spark valuable discussions. This openness applies across the entire company, not just within individual teams.Honest and direct feedback among team members (given with good intentions) improves collaboration and reduces decision-making errors.Effective feedback should follow four principlesAim to assist
Be actionableExpress gratitude when receiving criticismYou may choose whether to adopt or disregard the feedback.#4 Drive Impact - Pursuing Great OutcomesAs a popular saying in the startup world goes: “Go big, or go home.”Peter Thiel, inZero to One, emphasizes that true innovation should be market-dominating; the best competition is no competition at all. The goal of entrepreneurship is to create a monopoly, not engage in zero-sum competition. We constantly strive to tackle big problems and generate market impact.“If you’re not making mistakes, you’re not doing enough.”Mistakes are an inevitable byproduct of pursuing impact. We should view them as part of the experimentation process. The key is to learn from them and avoid repeating the same errors—there’s no need for harsh judgment.Benefits PerksCake’s benefits and activities are organized into three main areas, designed to help everyone work and live comfortably while continuing to learn and grow:Work-Life Balance
