How big of a human problem are you trying to solve?

We’re on a relentless mission to free the 2 billion people who live in pain. It’s an audacious goal that’s not for the faint of heart — but there’s nothing we’d rather be doing.

Mission

One mission drives us all

To accomplish our mission, talent is important — but drive is paramount. Our diverse team is powered by a shared passion for building technology to create a pain-free world. 

My son, I’m now able to run with him. He said, ‘you’re moving pretty good daddy.’ That's when it all changed. Because of Sword.

Father, husband, and Sword member

We have an understanding within our family. We know that when one of us is going through a hard time, we all feel it together.

Wife, mother, and Sword member

Pain affects everyone. If we take care of ourselves, that reflects back to everyone else.

Mother, grandmother, and Sword member

We live our marriage where we do a lot for each other. My limitations have impacted my husband. And freeing myself also frees him.

Wife, grandmother, and Sword member

You have the power to get out of [pain]. It's a very isolating feeling, and this journey has let me be so much more present.

Values

The principles that define us

  • Deliver more than expected, always

    Excellence is not an act, but a habit, and it starts by delivering 110% at every opportunity.
  • Do it for the patients

    These are not clients, these are patients. There’s no bigger reward and no bigger responsibility.
  • Success (& failure) belongs to everyone

    All victories are ours, all failures are ours. Have an owner’s mindset in all that you do.
  • Embrace change

    We’re creating something that the world has never seen before and because of this, it’ll get chaotic. Embrace it as part of our journey. Be nimble, be flexible.
  • Stay thrifty

    We spend wisely and where it matters: We’d rather invest in upgrading our skill sets than our flight tickets.
  • You only fail if you fail to learn

    Innovation implies taking risks and failing sometimes. That’s okay. What’s not okay is not to learn from our mistakes.
