The Wave Manifesto
The Wave Manifesto captures who we are, what we believe in, how we live our values and develop our culture.
Like all humans we are not perfect, so we will make mistakes. We will use this as our guide to hold ourselves accountable and to ensure that we forever strive to get better as people, as teams and as leaders.

Who is a Waver?

A Waver lives and breathes their craft.
A Waver has uncompromising character.
Wavers provoke each other to greater heights; to achieve more; to do our best work.
Wavers thrive in the face of challenge.
Wavers support other Wavers.

I’m convinced that about half of what separates the successful entrepreneurs from the non-successful ones is pure perseverance.
