An inside peak into IZEA's corporate culture. This is the document shared with new team members.

1. A GUIDE TO
OUR COMPANY
& CULTURE
Q2 2011 EDITION V2

2. When I first thought about starting this company I
had a vision. My vision was that one day everyone
would be a content creator. That was back in 2005
and a lot has changed. YouTube. Twitter. Facebook.
iPhone. iPad. Our world has been transformed
radically in a very short period of time. From
students to grandparents, billions of people are
finding their voice via the Internet. The vision is
becoming a reality faster than I had ever imagined.
You are now part of a very special family. We
are the pioneers fueling the democratization
of information, entertainment, marketing and
commerce. Our platforms fund the American dream
for the next generation of artists, poets, film makers,
photographers, thought leaders, comics, actors and
musicians. What you do here will impact hundreds
of thousands of people directly and influence the
actions of millions more. We matter. You matter.
This is a huge opportunity. You are part owner in a
company that has already changed the world and
has a very bright future. Make the most of each day.
Take pride in what you do. Above all remember that
you will get out of this experience is what you put
into it.
All The Best,
Ted Murphy
