Imua — "Move forward with purpose" (Hawaiian)

To me, Imua is a commitment to these values:

Impact: Be bold. Build things that matter for millions, not just a few.
Move Fast: Relentless bias for action. Done beats perfect.
Understanding: Every journey starts with the customer. Listen first, build second.
Accountability: Small teams, big ownership. No hiding behind process.

"Ideas aren't worth anything unless it's valuable to the customer." — Andy Kurtzig
