Start-up within a Start-up

Even though it is over five years since Dominik first started teaching Starcraft players how to win at poker, we still consider ourselves to be a start-up. We operate in a rapidly evolving industry where the rules change on an almost weekly basis. We ourselves are constantly expanding our offering into new markets. Very soon we will also launch new products in new sectors.

Under such circumstances, the start-up approach is the only viable option for us. We need to rapidly adjust our offering to meet our members' ever-changing expectations. Otherwise they will simply go elsewhere. A project that might take six months to implement in an Apple, Microsoft or Facebook gets implemented in PokerStrategy.com in six weeks.

We operate in start-up mode both at a company level and at a team level. For example, we have 19 language teams serving customers in nearly every country across the globe. Each team is like a mini-company within the overall organisation. The teams have responsibility for ensuring that their community is completely satisfied with our offering in their language market. Each team is responsible for its own costs and ensuring that we grow our community to a sustainable level.

Within this environment we need a different type of person than the average company-man (or girl). We need people who are passionate about what they do, who are incredibly smart and who are able to learn and adapt quickly to each new challenge. We place high demands on our people, but we reward people well who deliver for their team and their community.

We've put a name on the type of people that we want to work for us. We call them 'intrapreneurs'. These are people who work within an organisation but who think and act like entrepreneurs; developing and implementing strategies that deliver great product and service offerings for customers.

We can never have enough intrapreneurs and so we have opened up new positions for Intrapreneur and Intrapreneur Intern. If you have ambitions of becoming either an intrapreneur or entrepreneur in the online gaming sector then one of these positions could be just for you.

Plus, if you are truly entrepreneurial you should definitely check out our employee referral programme, where you could earn $5,000 by simply sending another smart intrapreneur-type in our direction.
