Strike a balance.
First things first—We had fun. As a remote team, culture is something we create intentionally. So, gif wars were waged, Spotify playlists were assembled, and Rebel emojis were created. Ya, we invented our own set of emojis…
We may be miles apart, but we always work together as one to achieve our project goals and have fun along the way.

Employees of the Year...
Of course, we wouldn't be the same without our hardest workers helping out behind the scenes.
A letter from Leah.
As we close out 2023, our fourth year as a company, the momentum around the Rebel offices is palpable. You can guarantee a Rebel playlist is bopping in the background and someone has sticky notes plastered on the wall.
In some ways, this year delivered far more than I expected and in ways I never saw coming. And in others, this year has been a season of stops and starts that have required a focused stare on the future.
They say that year four in business growth is one of the most difficult. It is usually the year in which the business evolves from being a “start-up” to being a business. Often, the skills that it takes to create the business are different than the skills that sustain the business. And it’s usually the year in which pivots begin to emerge.
I can say I feel all of that in my soul.
We’re ending this year with the right people in the right seats—and that’s exciting. I’m most proud of the Rebel team. They are incredible.
We’ve welcomed new, bold clients to our list of Rebels—and that’s a lot of fun.
We’ve doubled down on our focus on studying people and money—how they think about it, feel about it, and what they do with it—and that’s super powerful.
We hope your 2023 was audacious in all the best ways possible. Thanks for spending some of your time with us. We really liked hanging out with you.
Here’s to 2024 and all the adventures the word no will bring. Stay tuned…
Talk soon,
