Zipf's Law
Zipf's Law conveys that there is a mathematical uniformity to the way humans collaborate and form communities. At ZipfWorks, we apply methods and best practices for product innovation to grow our shopping-related communities in a predictable manner with minimal risk. We observe, ideate, prototype, launch, and scale our services to achieve our mission of helping people grow and reach their potential. Learn more about Zipf's Law in this

Our fundamental values
Innovation
Innovate : make changes in something established, especially by introducing new methods, ideas, or products.
Our business model is founded on the assumption of accelerating change. As technology changes the way we communicate, connect, research, and make decisions, ZipfWorks has an opportunity to create products that enable and extend these new behaviors. Through ideation, experimentation, and iteration, we're able to craft new digital platforms and experiences that help people shop smarter.
Empowerment
Empowerment : the process of becoming stronger and more confident, especially in controlling one's life and claiming one's rights.
We help small, upstart new e-commerce business ramp up to reach their next level of growth and development. We partner with small micro-influencers, giving them tools and resources they can use to propel themselves to the next phase of growth. We help consumers make smarter buying decisions and get maximum value out of their purchases. We believe that our success is rooted in our ability to empower our users to succeed.
Continuous growth
Growth : development from a simpler to a more complex stage.
Growth in knowledge, growth in relationships, growth in resources — growth is fundamental to everything we do as humans. We seek to grow as a company and as a team by providing platforms and resources that assist our users, partners, and community members in their own growth and development efforts.
