I was an early team member at Viximo...

As a team we all still believed that we could accomplish big things together. On top of that, we didn't want to let each other down.

Like Brian pointed out, the culture was established at the beginning. Folks were recruited on how well they would gel and adopt a core set of values in addition to pure talent.

something that can't be understated is the strength of the founding and core team, which attracted a world-class engineering team etc. smart, driven people want to work with people they respect and there were (and still are) a lot of ballers on that team.
