From Ray
Ray is someone who incessantly underscores the power of information. How to establish a framework to approach problems with previous unknown circumstances. Through this framework, one commits to an active life of learning. It does not matter whether or not a problem presents new information so long as there is an active process in place to effectively filter through this information. Additionally, we learned one of our most coveted definitions of success: to work towards life's greatest problems with deeply connected relationships.

Here at Northwater, we believe in competition and a degree of focus that would otherwise overwhelm other organizations.
From Ayn
We developed the appreciation for those who create. Ayn was a visionary thinker during the 20th century when most women were limited by social norms. Through her novels, Ayn challenges the fabric of modern society by depicting workers against bureaucracy.
