NOTE

Maintain Small Company Mentality While Scaling

The key lesson learned over the past years is the importance of maintaining a small company mentality even as your business scales. This involves keeping leaders close to the ground, staying connected to customers to understand their needs, decisions, and preferences. Scaling tends to distance a company from its small beginnings due to layers of management and systems in place. Unlearning these practices and going back to basics is crucial. Fundraising and hiring many people can lead to losing the core mentality, hence, it is essential to keep a scrappy and early mindset, especially as the company grows.
