In this episode I touch on the misconception that rapid growth equates to success for startups. Arguing in favor of a lean team philosophy and delving into the benefits of small, resourceful, and mighty teams, and the advantages of restricted capital, tight communication, and fewer points of friction in decision-making. Then discuss the adverse effects of premature growth on internal affairs and external growth drivers, ultimately championing quality over quantity and strategic prioritization. Tune in to hear why less can indeed mean more for achieving long-term sustainability, impact, and overall success.
