The journey of Ospiro Enterprises is your typical feel-good American dream-type story: a young man with big dreams but a small wallet builds up a successful business through sheer work and strength of will. Throughout many years of serving their customers, the company has brought out the best in itself and its people, providing world class products and services rivaled by few in the market. Through the Ospiro Way and the principles of generalization, the company is sure to last for years to come.
History
Ospiro Enterprises was founded in 2013 after its founder, Gabriel Classon, received inspiration from the popular game The Game of Life and Death, a choose-your-own-adventure-type product. Wanting to make his own such entertainment, Classon began working on DAC, Inc., a game in which the player is stuck in a world controlled by DAC, a malicious company that cares only about profit. Though the game was ultimately never finished, Classon took the name of the game and created a company called DAC, Inc. This company would ultimately become Ospiro Enterprises. The name “DAC” was initially chosen because of its relation to math: the first three digits of π are 3.14. Backward, this is 413, and, if each digit is replaced with the corresponding letter of the alphabet, the result is “DAC.” A jingle was devised during this early period of the company, which largely remains unchanged today: a broken suspended D7 chord (comprised of the notes D, A, and C) resolved by with a D major chord.
Prior to the switch to the name “Ospiro,” DAC, Inc. had very little branding, as the company did not do very much during this “dormant” period. Many logos were tested momentarily, including a the union of seven smaller triangles into a larger equilateral one and a simplistic wordmark, but none of them were especially successful. After the switch to a new name, motivated by the lack of uniqueness of “DAC,” the company reaped many benefits. Classon had been vacationing when he snapped a photograph of an osprey majestically flying in front of the sun, its right wing gradually giving way to the rays of photons from that miasma of incandescent plasma. The company was named “Ospiro” in honor of that beautiful osprey and a new logo, simplifying the iconic photograph, was instituted. The “spir” in the name spurred Classon to craft a motto, “Inspiring the Aspiring,” one of the key tenets of the Ospiro Way to this very day.
Today, Ospiro cherishes its rich history while also looking toward the future. It continues to work diligently as it has since that fateful date in 2013.
Guiding principles
The Ospiro Way is the core set of beliefs which Ospiro holds. It is held by the leaders of Ospiro to be the key to our success, so large portions of it are not divulged to the public. There are a few facets that are disclosed, however:
- “Inspiring the Aspiring” is the corporate motto and the core of the Ospiro Way. It is the central theme unifying and guiding every action the company takes.
- Generalization is another important part of the Ospiro Way. It holds that, to maintain success, the company should spread into as many fields as it possibly can. This is the reason why Ospiro Enterprises can be found in many industries which are seemingly unrelated.
- Specialization forms a syzygy with generalization within the Ospiro Way. While generalization offers many benefits, its downsides include the spreading of resources too thin and a failure to understand the intricacies of each industry. Ospiro therefore uses specialization in the creation of autonomous departments; these are able to provide to each industry the best services and products possible.
