Our Principles

Mento Labs has established the following principles to foster open and honest communication, accountability, teamwork, innovation, respect, and integrity within the team. These principles aim to create a positive and productive working environment where team members feel safe to express their thoughts and ideas, while working together to support our mission and achieve our common goals.

No Bullshit

This principle emphasizes the importance of open and honest communication within the team. It encourages team members to address uncomfortable truths and engage in candid discussions without personal attacks. Transparency is valued, even though it may not always be fully achievable due to legal or other constraints.

Accountability and Ownership

This principle underscores the importance of taking responsibility for one's actions and tasks within the team. Together, accountability and ownership create a culture of trust, where individuals are responsible for their contributions and take pride in ensuring the collective success of the team or organization.

Move Together Towards a Common Goal

This principle stresses the importance of unity and teamwork. We believe that team members should work cohesively to achieve a shared objective, emphasizing collaboration and collective effort.

Follow Your Curiosity

This principle suggests that team members are encouraged to be curious, innovative, and open to experimentation. The Mento Labs’ team values the exploration of new ideas and approaches to problem-solving.

Respect and Integrity

This principle highlights the significance of respect and integrity in team interactions. It encourages open communication, the sharing of ideas, and addressing concerns or failures in a non-violent and respectful manner.
