You learn in this business: if you want a friend, get a dog.

We buy things we don't need with money we don't have to impress people we don't like.

Culture compounds just like capital. Good culture builds value over decades. Bad culture destroys it faster than any financial mistake.

A small team that cares deeply about craft will always outship a large team that doesn't.

If you want work-life balance, Revolut is probably not the right place for you. We're building something unprecedented and that requires unprecedented effort.

Mediocrity is a disease. And it's a communicable disease. Mediocre people hire mediocre people. Urgency is a muscle — exercise it.

We named the company after Aragorn's sword because it was broken and reforged. American defense innovation was broken. We're reforging it.
