From the subtleties of our branding to our Easter eggs —oh yeah, we have them :)—, everything started to become like creating art.

Our house is small when compared with other huge incubators out there, but just like Shihan Demura once said: “A great dojo doesn’t need to be a big building. It has to be full with the right people."
Adapttech being an inclusive company is something that happened naturally without us even noticing it, and I think that’s precisely the reason why it’s so much meaningful this way.
Since the first day we started working on our company I was completely convinced that we were going to require some guidance for creating our business culture. I wasn't quite sure on how to do this, but then we decided to create a set of rules for the company —and most importantly, for ourselves.
Putting your team together is one of those critical things you need to get done when you are starting your company. After all, what do you do when you need to get things done and you are not the best person for the job? You hire someone smart. Smarter than you.
Over the last years Fred — my business partner at— and I have been trying to figure out what are the most important characteristics an entrepreneur can have. What I've seen from my limited experience is that most successful entrepreneurs have a set of common traits that I decided to gather in this article.
1. We don't f*ck around
If you are thinking about doing something, you are already late
The due date is always yesterday
If everything seems under control, you're not going fast enough
2. Don't be an *sshole
Rules are for the obedience of fools and the guidance of wise men
No one wins alone, and every triumph is collective
If you f*cked it, unf*ck it
3. Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication
Aim for the third best: the second best comes too late and the best never arrives
If it's stupid, but it works, then it's not stupid
If it's not broken, don't fix it
4. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act, but a habit
