Culture at Fairmart

Pair Programming

Top

Continuous learning is a key part of any programmer's learning. At Fairmart, we are strong proponents of learning and a key method to facilitate this is regular pair programming. We believe that we learn better as a team, whether it's senior engineers pairing up to tackle tough technical projects or senior/junior pair-ups to coach team members through specific technical problems.

Our regular activities include:

Daily tech-team standups to drive progress
Bi-weekly sprint reviews + post-mortems
Quarterly team learning goals

Product Love

Top

Product-driven growth is a key priority for any truly innovative company and we are no exception. At Fairmart, we spend an extensive amount of time speaking with our customers to understand their lives and how technology can aid them in becoming more productive. To achieve this, we aim to understand the lives of our customers. Why are processes the way they are? What are the constraints they operate in? And how do we build a product that supports their business in the way it exists today?

Move Fast

Top

We believe innovation is an empirical process that requires experimentation, customer validation, and continuous feedback. The velocity at which we can drive this loop determines the rate at which we can progress.

To drive this velocity, we adhere to the lean startup methodology where we aim to validate features through simple experiments to assess efficacy. Continuous customer engagement allows us to understand how our customers use our product in the real world.

Open Communication

Top

We believe that open communication is fundamental to the success of an early-stage company. We are one team, and to hit our peak performance, we must operate as more than the sum of our parts. Building a culture of open communication is a key method to achieving this vision.

At Fairmart, you can expect:

Transparent objectives and key results across the entire organization
Regular structured feedback sessions both as individuals and as a team
Monthly Town Halls to review progress, setbacks, and paths forward across the entire organization

Impressive Team

Our two co-founders have combined 30 years of business and technical experience across leading growth stage startups such as DJI, Shopback, and Redmart.

We started the company in the summer of 2020, and despite challenges around the pandemic, was able to quickly demonstrate traction and secure funding from leading VCs such as Quest Ventures, Entrepreneur First, and SOSV.
