Strapi has evolved from a small Paris-based team into a remote-first organization with 50 employees across seven countries, driven by the values of transparency and care. The company, originally an open-source project, has embraced remote work inspired by companies like GitLab, adapting to different time zones and asynchronous communication while hiring globally. Strapi's commitment to open-source principles is reflected in its decision to make its company handbook public, aiming to enhance transparency, inclusivity, and accountability within its community. The handbook serves as a resource for community members, prospective employees, investors, and partners, providing insight into the company's values, methodologies, and decision-making processes. Strapi continues to expand this resource over time, with the aspiration that it will be as influential as GitLab's handbook has been for them.
