You want to think about what is the path for my first 10 or 15 employees going to be as the company grows.

You should be able to describe any employee as an animal at what they do.

... but the pendulum has swung way out of whack here. A bad idea is still bad, and the pivot happy world we're in today feels suboptimal.

You certainly don't need to have everything figured out in the path from here to world domination.

Before 20 or 25 employees, most companies are structured with everyone reporting to the founder. It's totally flat.

You need to have a culture where people have very high quality standards in everything the company does, but still move quickly.

The best ideas often look terrible at the beginning the truly good ideas, don't seem like they're worth stealing.
