Kopernik is an exciting, fast-growing, cutting-edge
organisation tackling technology distribution challenges. We emphasise a
hybrid philanthropy-business model in achieving our mission - different
from the traditional charity approach of giving away goods and services
for free.
Our team works tirelessly to put the
last mile first. Our culture shapes the way we work. We value action,
we get things done, we are open and transparent in everything we do, and
we always look for ways to innovate. We come to work with a smile,
which is easy when a strict no jerks policy applies.
