Values

From day one, the Backblaze founders brought our values to life, which has shaped the company and our staff.
Fair & Good
Be good. Trust is paramount. Build a good product. Charge fairly. Be open, honest, and accepting with customers and each other.
Sustainable Business
Build for long-term success. Be rationally frugal. Invest responsibly. Keep profitability in mind, and build at a sustainable pace.
Focus on Easy
Think hard how to make things easy. Take extra time to achieve simplicity, minimize friction, and reduce complexity.
Open Communication
Default to sharing unless there is a strong reason not to. Transparency builds trust and establishes leadership.
Cleverly Unconventional
Refuse to take history or habit to mean something is "right." Consider novel solutions unrestricted by conventional wisdom.
