Our Values
Streamer First. We focus on making sure our streamers are successful with their goals of building communities and revenue. If streamers aren't successful, we aren't successful.
Be an Owner. We identify problems and find solutions. We don't wait for external push, we take pride in getting things done. There's no user manual - it's ours to write!
Communicate Transparently. We spend extra effort to keep alignment with each other and our community. We are intentional about being clear, consistent, and direct.
Respect Everyone. We are all human. We treat each other with respect and understanding. We help people bring their full selves to work (and stream) and take their full selves home with them.
Be Inclusive. To build the best products, communities, and teams possible, we need a wide range of perspectives in the room coming from a diverse group of people.
Empower Others. We help lift each other up, and make sure the team's success is our success. We look to help each other grow, succeed, thrive, and be happy.
Who We Are
At Captain.tv, we’re working hard to develop streamer-led games: a new category of game designed specifically for streamers and their communities. Currently, we have over 25k streamers and over 1.5M viewers playing our games on Twitch. We’re VC-backed with two streamer-led games released (Stream Raiders and Chat Plays Chess), one game in the works (Stream Pirates), and a lot more on the way! Our growing team includes alumni from Disney, Zynga, and Big Huge Games and we are united by our passion to connect people through games.
Captain.tv is an Equal Opportunity employer. We believe that cultivating a workplace where our people are supported and included is essential to creating great products our community will love. We are committed to seeking + hiring diverse voices, especially those who are traditionally underrepresented in the technology industry, and creating the conditions for them to thrive at Captain.tv.
