I agree that as a company grows the culture will always change, there is no standing still. But we're very active in spreading and prioritizing our values. For information about our values please see https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/#values
> preserve our culture, mission and goals.

On a serious note, the shift in the latter parameters can be smaller than in an acquisition, but to "preserve" would imply actively managing employee (and founder) expectations in the build-up to IPO.
