Like most companies, Glimpse’s most valuable asset is our team. Yet, at many companies, cultural values and expectations develop haphazardly instead of intentionally. While we can’t create a culture with a Notion page, we hope that writing down our intentions will help crystallize our aspirations and identify candidates excited by the kind of culture we want to build.

Keep in mind that this document is both aspirational and flexible. We won’t always live up to our ideals. Furthermore, as an early-stage company, our culture can and should change as new team members join and bring their ideas and experiences with them.

The entire team reviews this document on a regular cadence to evaluate what’s working well, what’s not, and what should change.

🧭 Tagline, mission, and vision

Tagline

Quality at scale

Mission

Glimpse's mission is to enable quality at scale for the physical products that shape modern life — starting with the batteries at the heart of the energy transition, and extending to every hardware industry where product safety, reliability, and manufacturing efficiency matters.

Vision

Glimpse's vision is to make X-ray computed tomography (CT) scanning an affordable, ubiquitous tool for every hardware engineer, unlocking scalable, collaborative, and delightful analysis of its data. CT provides unparalleled insights into product quality, but a painful user experience has historically held back its utility and adoption. Glimpse’s solutions allow users of any skill level to quickly understand their product quality, from novices deep-diving a single scan to quality teams surfacing trends across tens of thousands of parts per day.

⚖️ Core values

1. Excellence. We want Glimpse to be known for excellence in everything it builds: technology, product, teams, customer relationships, and beyond. We push the boundaries of what’s possible while delivering a reliable, consistent experience for our customers. We want all team members to do the best work of their lives at Glimpse.
2. Accountability. We take our mission seriously. We each own our scope completely: following through, asking for help when needed, and never letting important work fall through the cracks.
3. Customer success. We earn our customers’ trust and ensure their success by our responsiveness to their short-term and long-term needs.
4. Kindness. We treat ourselves, our colleagues, our customers, and our partners with kindness and respect. Within our team, we look out for each other's physical and psychological wellbeing.

🤝 Our commitment as leaders

One of our most important jobs as leaders is to bring out the best from our team. A few ways we can do this are:

1. Creating a healthy work environment. It’s our job to create a workplace where team members are excited to come to work each day.
2. Align skill sets and interests to problems. We’ll have plenty of problems to solve, and sometimes we’ll need to solve problems we don’t enjoy solving, but we’ll match skill sets and interests to problems as best we can. We’ll also strive to communicate clear priorities and balance ambition with pragmatism.
3. Enable you to work efficiently, with leverage. We’ll do our best to create space for focus time, minimize distractions, and leverage automation and best practices.
