“Our mission at Osano is to create societal good by empowering businesses and consumers with knowledge and transparency into how their private data is shared, with whom, and why. Osano strives to treat customers and team members with respect and works diligently to ensure diversity in our team. We also work toward minimizing our impact on the planet. And we aim to do all of this while creating a healthy return for our investors.”

“Osano’s culture is rooted in building trust through everyday moments – i.e.; by doing what we say. So, we hire for and foster an environment tied to our core pillars of Bold Action, Operational Excellence, Delightful Experience, and Authenticity + Inclusion. Our environment prioritizes safety, speaking up with good, bad, and wacky ideas, giving and receiving feedback and praise and being intentional with connection and communication. Lastly, we recognize that startups are hard work, so we’re kind to each other and ourselves.”

“Autonomy. We hire folks who believe in and embody our pillars – Bold Action, Operational Excellence, Delightful Experience, and Authenticity + Inclusion. When individuals join the team, they’re trusted to work autonomously, make decisions, and represent Osano to the world. Autonomy creates a sense of meaning and purpose, which is nurtured by:

• Creating thoughtful candidate profiles before we start recruiting for a role so they are hired to bring complementary skills and help evolve our culture.

• Giving stock options to every employee creates a connection to acting in Osano’s best interest.

• Allowing individuals to make decisions within the scope of their role and rewarding them to experiment + test out their new ideas.

• Fostering a psychologically safe environment where it’s not just okay but also encouraged to make + learn from mistakes, ask questions, and speak up.

• Offering perks rooted in trust like flexible schedules, unlimited paid time off (with a two-week minimum each year), and a fully remote environment.

• Having weekly rituals like a Monday Kick-off and Friday Show and Tell provides space for knowledge-sharing, connection, and celebration. Connection is key to autonomy so that individuals don’t feel isolated or act counterintuitive or duplicative of other efforts in the company.”
