From a personal experience as a founder, it doesn't really matter how you want to apply company/startup culture. Your team will "Impose" it, so the best thing you can do (Which is very hard in early stages) GET A GOOD FOUNDING TEAM.

Never be passive agressive
Transparency, respect, and empowerment - the trinity of a great startup culture. Cultivate an open environment where ideas flow freely.
@jwilson_38 This! I worked for a startup that had a pretty toxic culture where leadership lacked all three of these qualities and created an environment where people were scared of sharing their ideas.
The founders and CEOs have to be observant of how their ideas, values and principles are influencing the culture.
I think is a mix between a strong leader vision and not become some tech stereotype, for example no motivation dances.

1) Set aside a budget and incentivize great work. Helps in identifying great work and showcasing the best performers.
2) Have an open talk every day where even interns get to share their thoughts and ideas.
3) A way for people to talk with anyone in the team, skipping levels, as need be. Helps in shutting down unwanted bureaucracy.
I've been thinking a lot about this whole "we are a family" thing, and my advice would be to avoid promoting a "family culture" at all costs. Using a family narrative to make team members feel guilty about certain things can be quite harmful, and unfortunately, many startups have used it to foster unhealthy (and unethical) work cultures. For example, it can cause people to feel stressed about speaking up and add an extra level of shame when leaving (or getting fired from) a company.
Transparent.
Trust.
Ownership.
Flexibility.
