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.
