Why we are Bulletproof
Diamonds are build under pressure. So are we.
Perfect match with the bulletproof methodology
By sheer necessity and by learning it the hard way we had to become BulletProof ourselves.
Fortunately we had the luck to be able to overcome our setbacks.

Our firms pledge
Our mission
We feel the need to help as many seasoned entrepreneurs as possible. So let's dream and why stop here. There are even more entrepreneurs in the third country world. Can you imagine what that would mean?
Our people
We don't believe in the ``one strike and you're out`` mentality. So we are forgiving as long as you are willing to take ownership of your mistakes. We also believe in starting out small and easy to understand business models. Enjoy having a ``lemonade stand``.
Our history
Yes we all had to grow from having absolutely nothing. But heck, this is what life is about. Growing. So let's be part of this evolutionary process.
Our focus
Focus does not mean only doing one thing. Is means knowing when to do only one thing. This is an art we are always mastering.
Our firms setup
To stay BulletProof we have a very straightforward and flat team model in place. So every founder has both an individual team responsibility, with a team of maximum 10 people and an overall firms team responsibility.

Questions
Yes. As our firm’s principles state we are building a 10 founding fathers/mothers and 100 people strong BulletProof working force. So when you understand what we are doing (our mission) and are certain you can withstand our rigorous yet very human application process. Reach out to us.
We maintain a strict expansion protocol that best fits our growth targets. Every year we have only two fixed 6-week on boarding periods where new team members – from Interns to Fathers – get the attention they deserve in order to seamlessly flow into our organisation.
Random hiring is not part of the BulletProof Methodology and results in a suboptimal on-boarding experience for our new talents, whilst also putting an unnecessary and inefficient strain on our incumbent employees.
Our cycles always run from:
1. Mid January until the end of February
2. Mid September until the end of October
Yes we very much believe in the new way of working. People used to work for long periods of time for just one company. As we need our people to stay open minded we need them to stay involved in working opportunities that keep them energized.
We have to very strict principles when it comes down to working with Freelancers. One of these principles is the payment of there fees within 48 hours and always working with a combination of pre-mid-after payments.
Reach of to use for more details.
Yes. But what always works best. Make yourselves stand-out and us want to reach out to you. How? be creative and take your future in your own hands. That’s the BulletProof way.
