*Company Retreat 2022 - Cascais, Portugal*
Primer was founded in 2020 by former PayPal employees who have helped the world's largest companies integrate and manage payments globally, including but not limited to Uber, Airbnb, Spotify, and many others.
As product and engineering folks, the founders wanted to solve the most diverse and complex payments problems they encountered for merchants and developers and pioneered the concept of an open, end-to-end automation platform for payments.
Early that year, and within our first 9 months we reached Series A, raising an unprecedented $25M from leading investors (including Balderton and Accel), within 20 months we raised a Series B of $50M led by Iconiq, and now we're rapidly scaling Primer globally 🚀 We're currently a remote-first team of 98 Primigos in over 35 countries 🌏
We’re on a mission to transform the commerce landscape forever. Primer is rebuilding commerce from the ground up.
Our passion and drive comes from building the next generation of payments technology, period -- and we're just at the very beginning 😎
<aside> 🧠 Innovate with vision, reflect with purpose
Primer is driven by innovation. We are rebuilding commerce from the ground up. We must be bold, ambitious and intentional with our vision.
Innovation isn't restricted to our technology - it's a mindset that every person at Primer should embrace. We all have the space to innovate to build a company that elevates the standard and raises the bar for ourselves, our teams, and our competitors.
Innovation happens best when we reflect with purpose. That means; listening, seeking feedback, and asking the right questions to our merchants and ourselves. It means tuning into our ecosystem and paying attention to the internal and external signals around us.

<aside> 🧡 Distributed, yet unified
We are globally distributed and unity is our anchor.
To be be distributed enhances our insight, perspective and reach on a global scale. Being distributed amplifies our commitment to connect, collaborate and create within the remote Primersphere.
To be unified is to trust that the people around you will know how to collaborate with you, when to champion you, ****and when to challenge you. Our unity is driven by empathy, high expectations, and shared purpose.
We achieve exceptional results when we are distributed, yet unified. We do our best work together remotely and accelerate this when we come together in person through considerate, and intentional design.

<aside> 💥 Deliberate actions, complete accountability
Every single person at Primer is an owner with personal accountability. This is our non-negotiable.
We celebrate, champion and invest in people who embrace this challenge and mindset. You own your role and operate in an environment that enables you to take decisive action, and make deliberate decisions that drive us closer to our goals.
If you work at Primer we haven't tasked you with a job. We have entrusted you with our shared mission and our collective commitment to excellence.

Prioritise for impact, and set the pace
We direct our efforts towards execution and impact. Every decision that we make is a declaration of our intent to make a meaningful impact.
Our environment and landscape shift rapidly and we're not just here to adapt. We are setting the pace for innovation in payments. Rapid pace of execution has been a cornerstone of our success and is an integral part of our DNA.
Setting the pace also means knowing when to take strategic pauses to optimise our trajectory and avoid costly missteps for Primer and our merchants.
