// THE PEOPLE BUILDING MULLET

Mullet doesn't have an "office" in the traditional sense — we have co-working nodes in Dubai, Singapore, London, New York, Seoul and Shanghai. But everyone shares one thing: making on-chain TradFi a financial tool anyone can use.

03 · HOW WE WORK

Distributed · high densityAsync-First. Hire Slow. Trust High.

/ 01
ASYNC FIRST

Async first

Written communication by default; meetings are the exception. Notion + Linear + Discord are the infrastructure.

/ 02
REMOTE OK

Remote friendly

Co-working nodes in six cities. One in-person gathering per quarter; the rest of the time, wherever you are.

/ 03
HIGH BAR

A high hiring bar

A small team with a high bar. We would rather hire slowly than lower it.

/ 04
OWNERSHIP

Shared ownership

Everyone holds options. Every line of code we write is looking after someone's real money.
