We create genuine human moments in an increasingly self-service world through digital messaging.
We strive to make individualized white-glove service accessible to all. Our solution is designed to augment service teams, allowing them to build personalized relationships with their guests at scale.
Our core values drive everything we do. These seven pillars guide our future planning, expansion, and everyday business.
We hire bright, high-potential employees from diverse backgrounds and our inclusive team harnesses its intelligence and curiosity to accomplish more than we ever could as individuals.
Working within our flourishing, bootstrapped, tech company, we treat each other like adults and think and act like owners in our shared responsibility for the company’s continued growth.
We listen intently, seek to understand, and ask ourselves what we can do to serve others and put our customers first.
Kipsuvians don’t ask what we can get out, but rather what we can put in to ensure the long term success of our company. We cultivate strong relationships with customer partners and each other, displaying professionalism, emotional intelligence, and authenticity.
We approach our work with copious supplies of grit and determination, undeterred by the obstacles we inevitably encounter.
We are humble enough to know that we have things to learn and improve upon, and proactively seek out new information and experiences, preparing ourselves to crush challenges.
Building a company to last requires hard work and endurance. We evaluate our impact and relationships over a long window of time, proactively address challenges (“bring the pain forward”), and make sustainable decisions.
Our leaders come from a variety of backgrounds and their collective experience and vast industry knowledge lead Kipsu to success.
