# Thoughts and suggestions #### Mission statement : What we have right now is "To make a contribution to the world by making tools for the mind that advance humankind." A great start. But the structure seems to be a bit confusing and lacking of a concrete mission statement. Maybe it's in our mind and work but it needs some work when we want to put that on paper. Repeated use of "to" makes it confusing. #### Vision statement : What we have right now is "Our vision is to be earth's most customer-centric company; to build a place where people can come to find and discovery anything they want to buy online." Very broad and kind of an abstract feeling from this. #### Value statements : I think we should shorten it to have maximum impact. For e.g. : Instead of saying *Move with urgency and focus* we can say Deliberate() or Exigent(urgent/urgency) Rigorous instead of Think Rigorously. Trustworthy instead of trust and amplify. Optimistic instead of Opitmism. Bijou(synonym for better) instead of The stripe service. ### Pitch Deck Resource : 1.
