CoverHound has grown in the past 3 years, and recently received Series A funding to the tune of $4.5 million from RRE Ventures.
While Basil is focused on the business, he also believes in building a culture that is is Femgineer friendly. He recently reached out to me to come, and host a Femgineer Forum at the CoverHound offices. He wants his team to learn techniques to attracting Femgineers so they can instill a friendly company culture.
Aside from striving to be Femgineer friendly, CoverHound also has a pretty relaxed culture. It believes in work-life balance, making it different from your average fueled by Red Bull and Monster startup. They do indeed work hard, but aim to take responsibility for things whether small or large while working, and also have time to enjoy time outside of work.
CoverHound also aims to bring the ideas of employees to life. If there is enthusiasm for an idea or even if it’s just a: “Yeah that’s something we can try…”, the proposer will receive resources to support executing the idea. If the project is a success, then great. If it proves to be less than a success, then as a company CoverHound tries to minimize the impact and go over lessons learned, but there is never a sense that failure is to be avoided at all costs.
Join me as I host the next Femgineer Forum on April 2nd sponsored by CoverHound.
