Arena is on a mission to accelerate humanity’s rate of hardware innovation

Software defined the last fifty years, but the next leap forward - nuclear fusion, space exploration, breakthrough medications - will be unlocked by hardware. A meaningful acceleration in hardware innovation will enable humanity to achieve these breakthroughs centuries sooner than we could at our current course and speed.

Our values

/ 01

Form + Function

We strive to truly understand the user and build products that move them on both a rational and an emotional level.

/ 02

Trust > Procedure

We trust you and ask that you trust us. Micro-management and hierarchies are not our way.

/ 03

Pride - Ego

We shed our egos and approach problems from first principles. True competence is quiet and humble.

/ 04

Kindness > Niceness

We know that "being in the arena" can be hard, and authentic support is critical to growth.

/ 05

Real world > Lab

We focus on solving real world problems, not over-applying theory, and deliver measurable results that move the needle.

/ 06

Speed > Perfection

We value getting from 0 to 1 fast, and then iterating. We believe that the more we ship, the faster we learn.
