More Than Words: Introducing Evolv’s Refreshed Company Values

Topic - Company Update
Updated Company Values as Icons for Evolv Technologies

At Evolv, our mission is simple but powerful: to make the world a safer place to live, work, learn, and play. How we pursue that mission matters just as much as the mission itself.

That is why we have refreshed our company values.

These are not internal slogans or motivational posters. They are principles that shape how we build, how we partner, and how we lead. They reflect the culture we are proud of and the future we strive to create.

 

Our New Company Values 

Here is what guides us: 

  • Do the Right Thing, Always 
    • We help keep people safe by leading with courage and truth. We say what we’ll do—and do what we say. We own our actions, stand tall for what’s right (even when it’s hard), and show up as our real, authentic selves every day. 
  • Put People First 
    • We exist to make a difference for our customers. We listen with empathy, act with compassion, and serve as a partner to solve real problems. 
  • Win Together 
    • We act as one team, share knowledge, break down walls, and celebrate success together. We’re stronger when we collaborate and have each other’s backs. 
  • Own It 
    •  We’re driven and take accountability. We take pride in aiming high and delivering results that matter. When something needs fixing, we fix it and learn from it. When something works, we make it even better. 
  • Be Bold, Stay Curious 
    • We push boundaries. We ask what’s possible, challenge the status quo, and explore new ideas with relentless curiosity and smart risk-taking. We never stop innovating and asking, “How can we do this better?” 

 

These company values came from within, from conversations across our organization and through meaningful dialogue with our customers. They reflect what matters most to us: building trust, delivering impact, and doing work that makes a difference. 

You will see these values in how we serve our customers, how we support our partners, and how we show up in the security space. 

These values give us a foundation to tell Evolv’s story, build trust that lasts, and connect with people in ways that reflect who we truly are” said Alex Ozerkis, Chief Marketing Officer. 

We are committed to upholding what we do well now. At the same time, we will keep reaching higher and challenging ourselves to grow. Our goal is to set new standards for the impact we want to make. These values are a promise to ourselves and to those we serve.
