Careers

Nascent has not been designed as a traditional organization; it has been designed for high-agency contributors to amplify their impact.

Life at Nascent

We invest in our people by providing the autonomy to build, coupled with accountability and honest feedback to help learn, grow, perform and win.

Principles

01
Compete to win

Work hard to be the best in every arena we play in; experiment and explore, but push hard when we hit on something; demand the best from yourself, your team, and Nascent.

02
Explore, experiment, play

Put theories into practice early; learn by doing; failure is temporary—learn, experiment, iterate, and grow; stay curious and open minded.

03
Always be building

Build the tools to automate and optimize your work; know when to move from prototype to scalable solution; balance fast & iterative with compounding & optimized.

04
Seek and speak truth

Challenge and make ideas better; seek out your weaknesses and blindspots; getting it right is more important than being right.

05
Own your shit.

Set clear expectations & deliver on them; be high agency; own outcomes, do not accept blockers.
