Career
We proudly dub ourselves “hitchhikers” as we are all hitching a ride towards Farmz2u's goal! With our individual goals charting the course of the journey.
THE TEAM
A Hitchhiker is a human working at Farmz2u
To hitchhike is to tag along on a ride to your destination. It's often considered a free ride, but experience tells us that nothing in life is free! As a hitchhiker, your destination should align to Farmz2u's 'destination' of fulfilling a vision to enable a food system that is sustainable and profitable for all market players.
You must have an idea of your own destination before you join Farmz2u. You might be unclear on what that destination is, but it's something you must have thought about and can thus articulate through your skills and experience. Every hitchhiker HH on Farmz2u's destination to success has a role to play, and your journey must align to ours to become a hitchhiker.

OUR ETHOS
Culture is the most
important thing to us
important thing to us
Five Commandments
Be Kind Always
Disagreements happen, do it respectfully.
Ask yourself, would I like to be treated this way?
Obsess over Customers
For we are nothing without them.
Happy employee = Happy customer, it starts with you.
Invent ! Invent!! Invent!!
Making too many errors is a problem.
We value speed provided it's well thought out (planning matters!).
Not making any suggests too much caution.
We must adopt an experimentation-first mindset to minimize technical and financial debt in the innovation process. Given the unique nature of the different teams, we provide the freedom to develop a chosen experimentation model that must be documented and followed.
Learn Unlearn Relearn
How will you approach the 'nine-dot puzzle'.
Examine your beliefs, assumptions and anchors.
Dedicate resources to accelerate the path to your personal HH destination.
Question everything always (see what others don't)
Exercise 'creative desperation', be curious!
Spot connections, coincidences, and contradictions.
Be aware of your bias and the biases of those around you.
Don't worry, with the guide to Farmz2u's galaxy you can better navigate our world. And if you have suggestions to improve this guide, let us know, after all, 'question everything always'!
