Why raccoons?
Hey, I'm Dawid - one of the cofounders of Causo. I've built our design system and sometimes people ask: what's the reason we plastered raccoons all over our image? Even when people don't actually ask - the answers are:
1) Raccoons are cool
2) Outreach feels a bit like scavenging. You go in a million directions, hope to find some scraps, and then hunt for a bigger prize when you've found a trail of responses
3) Consequently, agents that do outreach for you feel, to me, like an army of highly professional, fully automated raccoons
I've also worked in a variety of companies in my life. Some of them were funded by me (both bootstrapped and VC backed), some of them were big corporates, some even NGOs.
I don't remember ever wishing my workplace was 'more serious', and after a couple of ventures I feel like I have the confidence to say: work should be fun. So raccoons! We hope Causo scavenges some good VC replies for you. Can't wait to hear your feedback.
