<aside> ☝ At Roosh, our vision for the future of Ukraine is to be on the global AI/ML map and become a go-to hub for AI/ML projects in Eastern Europe.

To achieve this, we are on a mission to first foster a robust AI/ML ecosystem in Ukraine. This ecosystem will enable a conducive environment for product development and startup growth.

To help us navigate this path, we developed a set of core values. We think of them as guiding postulates that help us get closer to our goal day by day.

</aside>

They are:

  1. Forget Average, Be Legendary

  2. Take Ownership

  3. Flex Your Head

  4. Connect With People

  5. Innovate With AI & ML

  6. Be a Rooshmate

  7. Remember To Share

These fundamental values help us function together as a team. We think of them when facing a challenge or a tough decision, when we communicate with each other or the outside world, and when we hire talent to join our team. These values are our lighthouse guiding us towards our common goal.

1. Forget Average, Be Legendary — Who We Are

We are from Ukraine, so being brave is in our DNA. We are a team of go-getters who are not afraid to go off the beaten path. We think big, and we go big with our ideas and projects, always keeping in mind our mission. Our inherent bravery allows us to pursue future-forward and tech-forward initiatives, and we only recruit people with a similar mindset and capacity to do this with us.

2. Take Ownership — How We Work

We encourage people to take ownership of their work and decisions, shape their narratives, and defend their ideas. No matter the level of your position, or the size of your team (even if it’s just you), take the initiative, don’t be afraid to experiment, and fear no mistakes. Making mistakes is what humans often do, but the crucial part of the process is what you learn from them and how you share your experiences with your Rooshmates.

3. Flex Your Head — How We Grow

We are open to the world and everything it offers. We are life-long learners, and we value soft skills as highly as we value hard skills. We see an opportunity to grow literally in everything. Being a pro to us means having strong expertise, being creative, curious, and passionate. And to be ready to share everything you know with your team and community because knowledge exchange boosts self-reinforcement on an individual and collective level.
