@firstround @Rippling @stanine 4/ Roving Bottlenecks: Seek & Destroy šÆ Running a startup, you have to be in the trenches. That's where the battles are won. You must have a "seek & destroy" mindset. ID the bottlenecks, remove them, and move to the next one. You must be relentless in this pursuit.

For any startup, culture isnāt something you have ā itās something you actively do. As you scale, culture forms whether you codify it or not. Itās a constant fight against entropy. And that fight starts at the top. š§µ

Pushing the boundaries of "what can be" often borders the delusional...most aren't system thinkers seeing new connections that provide new "unlocks" for humanity. No, they only have faith in the "what is" b/c they aren't good at deciphering new "connections" at the system

Job of founders is to constantly find ways to āmanufactureā positive momentum. Youāre either moving forward or backward, thereās no standing still. Momentum leads to winning. Winners want to be surrounded w other winners, which gives you capacity to create even more momentum. š
Sam Altmanās secret to startup execution: Always keep momentum āYou want a company to be winning all the time. If you ever take your foot off the gas pedal, things will spiral out of control and snowball downwards. A winning team feels good and keeps winning.ā
