What guides us
Our principles
These are the operating rules for how UNBLOCKED runs and how members behave
We get sh*t done
Talk to users. Ship code. Charge money.
Progress beats polish. Revenue is the signal.
We hold ourselves accountable
We commit publicly, measure honestly, and follow through - even when it's uncomfortable.
We fail (and learn) together
Missed launches, wrong bets, silent users - nothing is hidden. Every failure compounds into shared learning.
We win BIG
Individual wins become community playbooks. One breakthrough lifts everyone.
We do things that don't scale
Manual onboarding. Ugly MVPs. Personal outreach.
Early-stage success is earned one user at a time.
We are nice and direct
Kindness is non-negotiable.
So is honesty. No ego, no toxicity.
We ignore competitors
You're far more likely to kill your startup by overthinking than by being outcompeted.
Focus on users, not noise.
Users > ideas > ego
Ideas are cheap. Opinions don't matter.
User problems decide everything.
