Don't get ready, get started. Taking that to heart, we're hatching some new businesses, for you, for us.
Why?
What would the world be like if companies put user needs first?
​
Benchmade was founded in an attempt to answer this question. Three years later we've demonstrated that industries change and lives are improved when design, technology, and communications come together to solve problems for people. To do this, we've built a company of experts with diverse backgrounds who believe technology should be used to deliver better services and experiences for people. We give them the freedom to make things that matter, working alongside colleagues they respect. We're a company that prizes entrepreneurialism and embraces constant change. Over the years, five perspectives have come to define the way we work:
Five Ways
I.
Be honest.
Don’t be afraid to say what you think. Strong teams are built on different perspectives.
​
II.
Embrace the unknown.
The future is uncertain, but you can be ready for it.
III.
Take chances.
You can’t be right until you know what’s wrong.
​
IV.
Ideas over egos.
Listen to others and save your energy for what matters.
​
V.
Care.
If you don’t care, why should anyone else?
