As we scaled, we had to adapt our communication tools. We moved from relying solely on email to having weekly All Hands meetings with presentations to keep everyone updated on company developments.

Regular checkpoints, like weekly meetings, can significantly improve team communication and management.

We structured our weekly meetings with Y Combinator partners to ensure accountability and to address feedback effectively.

In the early days, we had 10 to 15 meetings every day with potential customers, but I still didn't fully understand what we were going to build, which was confusing for me as a product manager.

Regular management meetings and all-hands meetings are critical for keeping the team informed about results and the roadmap. These meetings should occur at least once a month to maintain transparency and alignment.

When hiring remotely, it's important to build a culture that supports remote work effectively, considering how information flows and how meetings are structured.

Transitioning from a structured environment to a more open office plan can be challenging, especially with the increase in meetings.

Having a distributed team allows us to hire globally, avoiding the high costs and competition for talent in San Francisco, which is beneficial for early-stage startups.

Regular one-on-one meetings between managers and employees should be structured to benefit the employee, allowing them to set the agenda and discuss their priorities.
