Understanding Personal “Fit” in High-Performance Startups
Team Thinking, Integration, & the Role of Failure
Thrive in Startup Ambiguity and the Turbulence of Growth
This is a four-part series on themes extracted from the biggest home-runs and worst strikeouts I’ve seen during the past four years of building zero-to-one at two startups.
Part 1: The Golden Rule, Momentum is Trust
Part 2: Scale as an Input, Not an Output
Part 3: Team Thinking, Integration, & the Role of Failure
Part 4: Outcomes & Organization

Ask yourself, if everyone is actually right, what would that situation look like? Similarly in design, the best solution is always the one that can bring different points of view into harmony.
