What We Value at Kardigan

Our values define who we are, how we operate and what we stand for. We work hard to live up to these values every day. At the heart of what we do is a commitment to patients, a zeal for scientific discovery, and a collaborative spirit that is respectful and supportive of every individual.

Driven by patients and their families.

The opportunity to improve the lives of patients is the reason we get out of bed every morning. We make the greatest impact when we know our patients and the communities they are part of. We invest in science and technologies that produce data for us to make informed decisions that best serve them. We prioritize their needs above all else.

Be authentic.

Leading with authenticity and truth, we aim to bring out the best in others by creating an environment where every person knows they will be fully supported. We are respectfully honest and transparent when challenges arise. We do what’s right for patients and each other, always.

Eager to learn.

We ask tough questions, encourage the highest levels of curiosity and are open to changing our minds. We seek and offer feedback, alternative views and cross-functional expertise to arrive at the best solutions. We have the courage to succeed and fail… and learn from both.

blurb-card-bg-cherry

Win as a team.

We commit to winning as a team with urgency, excellence and intention. We hold ourselves and each other accountable. We are inclusive and transparent with information and celebrate achievements with all involved. We support each other no matter what role we play or where we sit.

blurb-card-bg-sumac

Enable the impossible.

We are here to do something that has never been done before… because patients are counting on us. When we see ourselves as leaders, we can do anything. We challenge the status quo and show up like “owners” instead of “spectators.” We are not afraid to take risks to unlock innovation and advance scientific discoveries.
