Decoding the twimbit purpose

Summary

Every organisation's founding philosophy shapes how it prioritises decisions years later, and three influences shaped twimbit's purpose. Chief among them is the century-spanning business philosophy of Sumitomo Corporation, a Japanese conglomerate whose commitment to serving society has sustained it for more than 400 years, with its lessons around integrity, gratitude and disciplined management transferring to a modern research and technology company built on very different foundations.

The idea of "democratising research" surfaces as an unmet need in how people and organisations consume knowledge, drawing a parallel between the ease of consuming entertainment through social platforms and the ongoing friction people face in accessing meaningful research and analysis for their own decisions.

Finally, twimbit's founding principles connect to the Business Roundtable's 2019 Statement on the Purpose of a Corporation, signed by 181 CEOs of major American companies, with a commitment to balancing the interests of customers, employees, suppliers, communities and shareholders informing how the organisation is being built from its earliest days.
