Culture
Our unique approach
As we’ve grown, we’ve become less start-up and more scaleup in our attitude and culture–but the original passion and spirit born in the labs at Copenhagen University is still with us. We value fun as we work towards building a great company that we all like being part of: it’s all about creating an inspiring team who bring out the best in each other, while making the most of our diverse personalities and skills. Having a space where we can be candid and honest is important to us, and failing fast to quickly move on is a way of life we love.
