With love from our team
At Primer there’s a strong sense of ownership. People are trusted to take responsibility for the problems they’re working on and to find the best solutions.
The team is very thoughtful about how we work together. There’s a shared understanding that communication and transparency are essential when you’re distributed, and people really take that seriously.
Even though our team is distributed across different countries and time zones, collaboration works really well. People are very open and supportive, and it’s easy to reach out when you need help or another perspective.
Our values
Our values are the result of hard-won lessons and reflections since starting the company. We will continue to build on what works, and disregard what doesn’t in order to bring us closer to achieving our goals.
Distributed, yet unified
Distribution enhances our global insight and reach. It amplifies our commitment to connect and collaborate in the remote Primersphere.

Primer is driven by innovation. We are rebuilding commerce from the ground up. We must be bold, ambitious and intentional in our vision.
Prioritise for impact, and set the pace
Every single person at Primer is an owner with personal accountability. This is our non-negotiable.
