Since its foundation in late 2013, Pixelmatters has evolved and changed significantly. The core idea of doing things right, because every pixel matters remain absolutely intact, but the journey from an unaware guy working at his living room to a team of 40+ and counting hasn’t been linear.

Many ups-and-downs, experiences, and learnings later, at an organizational level we decided it was time to go one step further and revisit Pixelmatters’ fundamental purpose. It includes:

• 💫 Our Purpose

• 🎯 What we do

• 🌍 Our Mission

• 💡 Our Vision

• 🤝 Our Values

• 🎖 Our Manifesto

Now, these are no longer an individual product as they were on day one, but instead, a product of the exceptional group of passionate people that, every day, define and shape Pixelmatters culture.

This post is a simple adaptation of an internal document that was created and shared with our whole team. The goal is to look at this as an inspirational guiding light on behavior and decision-making. Hopefully, it also resonates with you — watching Pixelmatters’ from the outside. Read on!
