We believe this mission allows nontechnical folks to build software and want to see all Expo folks create. This is our passion. Our go-to-market approach is guided by a few key principles that we live by: Land with the developer, expand with the executive: Deliver an amazing experience and success for the developer-user, which naturally translates into enterprise value and broader adoption. Master the Product, Champion the Customer: In a Product-Led Growth (PLG) model, salespeople win by being expert users of their own product and acting as trusted advisors to customers. This approach builds deep trust and lasting relationships because reps aren't just selling - they're showing customers how to succeed. By guiding users to value and solving their problems (rather than pushing a hard pitch), sales teams drive sustainable revenue growth grounded in customer success. Revenue is the lighthouse for solving customer challenges; feedback is the key ingredient. (We focus on revenue as validation that we're truly solving problems, and we constantly loop in customer feedback to improve.) Nail the fundamentals consistently: Disciplined execution beats the competition every time. (We prioritize doing the basics exceptionally well and with repeatability.) Every touchpoint matters: to make Expo top of mind ****whenever a developer or business builds a new app, we must make every moment memorable and valuable. (Our ultimate goal is to be the default choice for app development needs, and we can differentiate through experience) We are a team driven by strong values, and we look for people who embody them: Build developer trust: Be dependable and genuinely help developers find success with our tools. Our reputation with developers is everything. Autonomy: Take an idea, build it, ship it, and own it. We encourage independent ownership of projects - with great freedom comes great responsibility. Flexible primitives: Provide powerful building blocks that offer high control. We strive for flexibility in our product and in our work, avoiding one-size-fits-all solutions. Fast-forward principle: Continuously look for ways to accelerate development for our users without adding unnecessary complexity. Speed and simplicity are core to our philosophy. Make it work, make it right, make it fast: First, deliver functional solutions. Then refine them for correctness and usability. Finally, optimize for performance. We believe in iterating to excellence. Every day, millions of people use apps made with Expo — from public health apps to food delivery apps to dating apps to bitcoin wallets.
