Episode notes

In the early days, when we were like around ten people, i would say that every one was feeling like a owner of the company. You know, every time you were seeing something wrong or you had an idea, you could jump on it and fix it. So to answer the question, it was directlin to the growth. It was normal to not know everyone at that point. W it was kind of will, to be honest. But i sorly to realize that the company was changing really quickly. And i think one of the mistakes we did at docker was to grow too quickly without paying attention to the foundation of the team,. which goes down to the culture, in my opinion

As Dagger grows from a founding team of three to ten and so forth, Sam, Jason, and Eiso, share their views on building companies, leading by example, and the importance of embracing culture in a genuine way.
