What Makes a Great Mission Statement
Great mission statements are one way that innovative companies can build a brand and reputation. A great mission statement helps companies attract 1) top talent, 2) outside capital, and 3) market leadership. It seeks to inspire employees, investors, and customers. It offers a larger purpose beyond the company’s financial goals. It focuses on the impact the company hopes to make on the world and the deeper motivation the management team has for fulfilling its aspirations.
In this article, we will focus on some of the best mission statements from the technology sector. We focused on companies from fast-growing segments like SaaS, cloud, fintech, AI, marketplace, robotics, space tech, and electric vehicles.

It is at our kitchen tables, over a meal, where we often celebrate our milestones, acknowledge our setbacks, and appreciate the comfort of each other’s company.

People spend more time sleeping than on any other single activity throughout their lives. When we sleep better, we experience better hours awake, making us more productive, creative, happy, and healthy.
As the wellness equation increasingly evolves to include sleep, the business of sleep is growing and evolving into what we call the Sleep Economy. We are helping to accelerate this transformation.

Cloudflare’s mission is to help build a better Internet.
“In recent years, the technology industry has undergone a massive transition from on-premises hardware and software that customers buy, to services in the cloud that they rent. Organizations find themselves at different points in this transition to the cloud. Regardless of where organizations are in their transition, they all face a common set of challenges: they exist in a complex, heterogeneous infrastructure environment which exacerbates the fundamental problems of the Internet more than ever, and the on-premises hardware boxes that they once relied upon to solve these problems were never designed to work in such an environment. As more workloads move to the cloud and employees are increasingly working remotely, there is no point in installing additional hardware boxes on premise. An on-premises box will not solve the problems organizations now face. Nor can a business ship a hardware box to a cloud vendor. Even if they wanted to, there is literally no place to install such a box in the cloud.
We have built an efficient, scalable, programmable network that allows us to rapidly develop and deploy our products for our customers and that is architected to be flexible, scalable, and get more and more efficient as it expands. Our network is designed to be able to grow capacity quickly and inexpensively; to allow for every server, in every city, to run nearly every Cloudflare service; and to allow us to shift customers and traffic across our network efficiently.”

“We aim to achieve this by providing logistics, technology, and other services that reduce friction in local commerce and enable local businesses to address consumers’ expectations of ease, immediacy, quality, and affordability.”
“Technology has changed consumer behavior and driven a wave of demand for convenience. Recent events have further accelerated these trends, pulling the future of e-commerce forward for businesses large and small. Consumers value frictionless online shopping experiences and on-demand delivery. As consumers demand products and services quickly, inexpensively, and at the touch of a button, business is now happening where consumers are: at work, at home, and on-the-go. Local businesses have historically provided rich personalized experiences for consumers who shop in-store, but consumers are no longer going to physical storefronts for every purchase, and local businesses have struggled to adjust. We believe many local businesses lack the capabilities to reach today’s consumers or deliver to them off-premise. As a result, they miss out on this increasingly important source of growth.”

Today they number in the low 1000s, primarily inhabiting North America, but still far short of what their numbers could and should be. Armed with the flexibility and automation of Ordway, finance organizations gain the scale they need to become unicorns.
