We emphasize hiring people who align with our mission rather than those motivated solely by financial gain or personal challenges.

Hiring is often inductive; I look for talented individuals I want to work with, valuing traits like hard work, integrity, creativity, and a genuine desire to build something great.

I prefer to hire for talent, ambition, and hard work rather than just expertise, especially when building something new.

When hiring, we look for ambitious individuals who are excited about our vision, even if they aren't lifelong users of our product. This allows us to bring in fresh perspectives that can help us improve and grow.

Our strategy for hiring talent involves looking for 'insecure overachievers'—people who are hungry, humble, and eager to prove themselves.

We're actively looking for creative individuals who may not fit the traditional talent mold, focusing on those who show potential through their work and passion rather than just their resumes.

I don't think about hiring for more or less experience; it's about finding the right person for the role, regardless of their background.

We emphasize humility and respect in our hiring process to ensure a positive team dynamic.

To maintain cultural consistency as we scale, we hire people who already fit the culture we want, focusing on characteristics like intrinsic motivation and low ego.
