In a rapidly growing startup, it's normal to experience team changes, including people quitting, as not everyone is suited for the intense environment.

The challenge of maintaining product innovation while scaling involves balancing reliability and the need for new features, which requires hiring and training many people.

The pace at which issues arise in a growing company can outstrip your ability to resolve them, which is a challenging adjustment for founders used to academic success.

Startups should not fear the speed of execution of large companies, as they often move slowly, creating opportunities for agile startups to innovate and capture market share.

As startups grow, their needs change, and products that worked for them initially may no longer be suitable, requiring a complete redesign or new product.

When we realized our competitors were shipping faster, we shifted our approach to product development, setting ambitious goals like building 25 new features in one month to drive innovation and focus.

Startups often win by moving quickly, as they rarely have enough data or time to deliberate, so team members must be willing to act with limited information.

To move fast, founders must recognize the difference between the pace of a startup and that of a large company, as startup speed requires a willingness to be uncomfortable and take risks.

As a startup grows, the complexity increases, requiring hiring more people to manage various tasks, which can lead to confusion if you're not familiar with their roles.
