toby Values

Think Globally (Ambition)
We’re ambitious, bold thinkers who want to change how work is done today. We’re flattening the world by solving workplace language barriers. We think big. The chance to make widespread, profound impact deeply excites us. 🌍
Freedom to Fail (Autonomy)
We believe the highest-performing individuals are those who have ownership over their work. We like being able to control our outcomes and destiny. We value collaboration and asking for help when needed, yet we like having the freedom to experiment, test things out, fail, and learn. đź§Ş
Be a Chameleon (Adaptability)
We know that a company’s needs vary greatly at different moments in time. We value adapting to different circumstances and having a strong learner’s mindset. We are not scared by new challenges and instead embrace them. We recognize that the only constant is change. We enjoy waking up each day ready to tackle new obstacles. 🦎
Take Intelligent Risks (Risk Tolerance)
We challenge the status quo and pride ourselves on contrarian thinking. We take the road less traveled by. The road not traveled by. We break the rules and challenge the expected. We want to attempt the absurd. To live crazy, unreasonable, uncompromising lives out loud. We’re bold and take risks in the name of conquering the impossible. 🛣️
Don’t Lose Momentum (Speed)
The biggest advantage we have as a startup is our speed. We like moving quickly and with great agility. We ship as fast as we can and are constantly learning and growing. We see momentum as a wave that grows or dies, and focus on maintaining or growing our momentum. 🌊
Be a United Front (Unity)
We understand that the team is more important than the individual. We do what is best for the company and one another, and value the interests of the group. We enjoy working as a team and support one another when needed. We act as a unified front to the outside world, a cohesive unit ready to tackle insurmountable challenges together. 🧑🤝🧑
Enjoy the Journey (Character)
We don’t take ourselves too seriously. We enjoy each other’s company and poke fun at one another. We know when to laugh and enjoy what we do. We have fun and make sure to stop and smell the roses. We like working with people who elevate those around them—both professionally and personally. And most importantly, we make sure to enjoy the journey. 🚀

Who we are

We’re a multicultural group of people obsessed with improving the world around us. We have ample experience in voice tech and grew up curious about the world around us, caring deeply about how we can make it more efficient.
