Tsuga

• 🔥 We move fast. As an early-stage startup, we are pragmatic, we value ownership, and quick feedback over unnecessary process and hierarchy.
• 🙏 We solve problems, not blame people. When something goes wrong, we fix it, learn from it, and improve the system.
• 🛠️ We are builders. We start everything from a blank page and we lean on your colleagues' knowledge to move faster.
• 🙇 We are customer-obsessed. We dogfood Tsuga every day, so you care how the product is actually used and want to contribute ideas.
• 💥 We lean hard on AI, but not blindly. Our problems are hard and can’t be AI-slopped away.
• 🌍 We're international from day one. Every quarter, the whole team meets at our French office to align on company goals, celebrate wins, and connect with teammates from the US, UK, the Middle East, and across Europe.
