Four core beliefs that shape how we work and who we are
These are not posters on a wall.
These are the non-negotiable rules that every person at StartDate Consulting is hired, measured, and (when necessary) fired against.
Continuous growth mindset
We invest heavily in our team’s development and treat every engagement as a forced upgrade to our own capabilities.
Every sprint ends with a mandatory “model autopsy” — what the AI got wrong, why, and how we make it smarter next time.
Every team member gets a six-figure annual learning budget with zero approval process (use it on GPUs, conferences, or therapy — we don’t care).
We run internal bounties: the first person to cut predictive cash error below 2 % on a live client gets a $100k bonus.
We hire people who are visibly uncomfortable with how good they were twelve months ago.
Stagnation is the only unacceptable sin.
