Storytelling is a fundamental part of what it means to be human. For thousands of years stories are what have shaped our understanding of the stars, the meaning of life & death, why we fall in love, and so much more.
Before humankind had even learned how to write, storytelling is how we passed down critical lessons from generation to generation. At Spellbound we believe in the power of stories, and that they are as unique and infinite as the human imagination.
Our mission at Spellbound is to build the next evolution of the storytelling experience, and to share it with every human on this planet.
These are the core tenants of how we work, and what sets our company apart.
Storytelling - We believe in telling good stories. This means writing well, speaking well, and communicating effectively visually. It means having empathy for your end user and carefully crafting your message for a specific audience.
Speed - We are in an arms race to build the best product in the world for fiction stories. There are other startups with more money than us, more humans than us, and more distribution than us. The only way we will be successful is by moving faster than anyone else thinks is humanly possible.
Be right, often - Again, there’s very little room for mistakes. Unlike some of the great startup heroes, we don’t have the luxury of spending years wondering in the dark. Our decisions need to be correct, making the right call often is fundamentally more effective than just being loud but being wrong.
Friendship - A band of young adventures are off on a life changing journey battling Product Market Fit, changing AI models, and the rising San Francisco rent prices. The glue that ties them together is friendship. Be kind to each other, the people on your boat are the most important part of the journey.
