to potential contributors.
Purpose
Content
• Origins
• Vision
• Team culture
• What’s next?
Flinks is a high-potential FinTech start-up with years of hyper-
growth ahead, powered by obsessed over-achievers that also enjoy
life and know when to celebrate it.
Who’s Flinks?
Origins
Oh, here they are:
Origins
Julien
Fred
YG
In simple terms, Flinks is the result of timing and complementarity,
transformed into vision.
Origins
The advent of a dedicated financial data aggregator
on the Canadian market is long overdue.
Why Flinks?
Origins
Flinks’ business potential is being validated
by remarkable market, and investor traction.
Origins
The absence of a reliable, accessible aggregator
before Flinks' arrival indicates how big an opening
the Canadian FinTech market offers.
Origins
Flinks has that opening in sight.
Origins
Mission
Flinks is building the world’s best financial aggregator,
for the Canadian market.
Why culture?
Culture
Seeing as we spend the better part of our awakened hours
working for Flinks, it feels natural to reflect on our DNA.
Culture
Culture is hard to define.
Culture
We like hard though.
Culture
Flinks sees culture as the organic aspect of its identity.
Culture
The sum of all the various manifestations
of a team’s values.
Flinks definition
Culture
So to get familiar with the culture of Flinks, let’s look at its
core values, and some of their manifestations.
Culture
Have the guts to take risks, and
the courage to assume failure.
Flinks value #1
Culture
Audacity
Culture
Flinks value #2
Anticipate where we’re going,
and make a difference.
Autonomy
Culture
Flinks value #3
Be learning – always.
Learning
Culture
Flinks value #4
Profit is what allows us
to create our own story.
Profitability
In turn, beliefs are an early manifestation
of a team’s values.
Culture
Flinks definition
Beliefs are a team’s immutable assumptions
about the world.
Beliefs
They are our absolute truths, so deeply ingrained that
no empirical observations could call them into question.
Beliefs
Say we believed the earth to be flat, even looking at it
from space wouldn’t suffice to make us doubt that.
Beliefs
Although Flinks beliefs are not retarded or anything,
each is held as strongly as that of the flat earth believer.
Beliefs
Who is retarded, that we agree.
Beliefs
Anyhow, let’s jump into Flinks beliefs.
Beliefs
Small teams have the power to accomplish great feats.
Flinks belief #1
Culture
David did beat Golliath.
Hard work is irrelevant.
Flinks belief #2
Culture
It’s not their fault if other people work faster than you.
Flinks belief #3
Culture
Satisfaction from any other source
is personal satisfaction.
Results are the only source of professional satisfaction.
Speed of learning is a better accelerator of success
than speed of movement.
Flinks belief #4
Culture
Some prefer to put success in the hands of luck. Not us.
Compulsiveness is a disease.
Flinks belief #5
Culture
Irresistible emotional urges are irresistible urges to fail.
Flinks principles too are a manifestation of its values.
Principles
Principles are prescriptive statements whose purpose
is to guide our everyday decisions.
Flinks definition
Principles
Flinks principle #1
Culture
Leaders must enable their team to apply focus on finding
how to tackle challenges, not which challenges to tackle.
Maintain a clear, unified vision
Flinks principle #2
Culture
Traction doesn’t lie.
Follow traction, not fantasies
Flinks principle #3
Culture
Deliver often, adapt when
needed, and learn always.
Be agile
Flinks principle #4
Culture
Plan what you intend to realize.
Be deliberate
Flinks principle #5
Culture
Flinks cannot afford average.
Adequate work is inadequate
What’s next?
Assuming this slide isn’t the first you read,
chances are you’re liking what you see.
What’s next?
If so, let us know why in a few lines at
talent@flinks.io
What’s next?
Here’s a little hint:
Flinks = not the biggest fan of CVs.
What’s next?
Linkedin or Angellist profiles are just fine
What’s next?
This simple notice of interest will trigger
Flinks onboarding.
Onboarding
Onboarding is Flinks’ way of entering a lasting,
fruitful relationship with a candidate.
Think you’re a fit?
Act on it, before Flinks takes off
without you.
