With investment, we strive to hire developers with similar ideas.  Our work at the mother company, Hopiasepät Oy, has proved that helping is also good business. It’s the attitude that counts, and ours is positive. That reflects in our culture both as flexibility as well as commitment to results.

Vi ble startet av tre gründere i 2012, og er et ideelt aksjeselskap hvor alt av overskudd brukes til videreutvikling. I dag er vi en liten bedrift med 8 heltidsansatte og 2 deltidsansatte, men med et stort miljø og nettverk rundt oss. Vi driver en inkubator med over 200 medlemmer på Sentralen i Oslo, og utvikler og leder prosjekter og samarbeid for å nå bærekraftsmålene. Eksempler på hvordan vi jobber finner du f. eks på www.paadriv.no eller www.inkluderingsdagene.no. Hvordan jobber vi? Store samfunnsutfordringer krever at vi jobber på nye måter. Hos SoCentral forventer vi mye av oss selv og hverandre, og er opptatt av å ha tid til alt livet har å tilby. Som vår kollega i SoCentral vil du ha stor frihet til å løse dine ansvarsområder på den måten som passer deg best. Samtidig forventer vi at du tar ansvar og innbyr til tillit. Det er ikke et strengt hierarki eller avdelinger i SoCentral, men vi har alle tydelige ansvarsområder. Du vil derfor måtte forholde deg til mange “ledere”. SoCentral eksperimenterer med løsninger på viktige samfunnsutfordringer. Det er derfor uunngåelig at vi ikke alltid får til det vi ønsker. Det er ok. Det er faktisk helt nødvendig. For vi vet at vi lærer vel så mye av det som vi ikke får til, så lenge vi greier å dele åpent og spørre om hjelp når vi trenger det. Hos oss må du derfor være åpen for og villig til å dele halvferdige tanker og idéer fortløpende. SoCentral er kunnskapsdrevet og vi er avhengig av at ny kunnskap deles både internt og eksternt.

Preceding this moment, three innovative, yet differing paths of life and a deep dive into the world of coffee had taken place.
