The process of decision-making in our partnership is collaborative; we value everyone's opinion and encourage open discussion, leading to a consensus rather than a vote.

Leaders should encourage healthy debate and not compromise for the sake of social cohesion, as this can lead to a more effective and innovative culture.

Build a culture of experimentation where data drives decisions instead of the loudest voice in the room.

We believe in radical transparency, sharing as much information as possible with our employees to foster a culture of trust and collaboration, even as a public company.

We prioritize transparency and collaboration, ensuring that everyone is aware of the product's direction and customer feedback. This unwritten contract allows us to hold numerous customer conversations in our minds, enhancing our ability to make impactful decisions.

Having a culture of debate within your team is crucial; if team members are afraid to disagree, you won't receive valuable input, especially in the early stages.

It's crucial to maintain a culture that seeks out bad news. We focus on details and ensure that feedback loops are painful enough to be hard to ignore, which helps us face reality and improve.
