About Third Design
At Third, we are on a mission to empower creators, agencies, and brands with the sleekest 3D motion design tool. We believe that the 3D space is ripe for disruption, and is heading to a future of exponential growth.
Our Core Foundations
What drives us at Third Design
Insight
3D is amazingly good at communicating ideas. Game-tech is amazingly great at automating 3D. We are putting both together.
Mission
To empower creators with best-in-class 3D motion design editing tools. The After Effects of 3D does not exist and we are building it.
Vision
Whether for video, AR/VR, or socials, we see 3D becoming as ubiquitous as video is today, with Third being THE 3D authoring tool.
World-class mindset, world-class network
From Techstars New York City, to Station F in Paris, Third is backed by a world-class network. At Third we strive to be among, and learn from, the best on a global scale.
Our Company Values
As Red in Shawshank put it, our values at Third were crafted under years of pressure and time. Read the values below, and tell us what you think... Nay, show us how to make them better.
Be a Hero, not a Victim
An excuse is a reason that you did not act on. Confronted with adversity, a victim uses that as an excuse, a hero takes the necessary steps to overcome the hurdles.
Ask why, eliminate the noise
1. Why am I doing this task? x5 2. Find a "how" that gets you there with 10% of the effort. Navigating the uncertainty is hard (i.e. startups...). Asking why helps you make the right "micro-decisions" as you progress. Once you know why, figure out how to get 90% of the value for 10% of the effort.
Practice Radical Candor
Care personally and challenge directly, without being aggressive or insincere. This one is easier said than done, but thanks to Kim Scott (who wrote the book on this), you have just found your weekend read.
Customer (not you) is King
Why is this task useful for the customer? Fight the urge to look at tasks as tasks, but rather as "enablers" for the customer. Put yourself in the customer's shoes then work your way back to the tasks.
