6 years ago I joined a 20-person startup.
I wanted to quit after my first week, but didn't.
Now our company is worth over $1B and has 200+ employees.
Here's what I've learned about succeeding at a startup:
Tell me about your ‘stand-offs’... I’ll go first. Peanut butter stand-off: who’s gonna open and stir the new jar. 🤔@davidklayton

Once one of my 🐄 had bloat, I was desperate to save her. I was told “ask 10 different farmers, you’ll get 10 different answers.” Same goes for advisors/VCs/founders/experts. Observe them, but trust YOUR knowing. It worked then (Lulu🐄 lives) & it works now as a founder #startups

Crafting isn’t just a pandemic thing, we’ve been on an upwards trend for time immemorial and Web3 makes the possibilities for the #ownershipeconomy all the more interesting @IndieHackers indiehackers.com/post/gettin…
Pretty shameful to neglect mentioning that she’s a software engineer instead of describing her one dimensionally as a “former nfl cheerleader”, regardless of your opinion on the show. Perhaps you can update your article to empower women, especially Black women in tech.
I wrote an only slightly unhinged blog about a VERY unhinged dating show:

Never hesitate to elevate a woman for fear that they might shine brighter than you. The brightest cast a glow on those around them. #TheFutureisFemale #startups

AHHHHH! Meet Nicole, the star of @TheCourtshipNBC and our engineer @making_co! So SO proud of her! #thecourtship #nicoleremy
Your ‘knowing’ is the most powerful tool in your toolbox. #TheFutureisFemale #startups
AHHHHH! Meet Nicole, the star of @TheCourtshipNBC and our engineer @making_co! So SO proud of her! #thecourtship #nicoleremy
Love is in the ERA for Miss Nicole Remy. 💖 Don't miss the premiere of #TheCourtship March 6 8/7c on @NBC!
PMF is a great indicator of success, but one of my favorites is Company Market Fit. Nearly every day we receive emails/DMs from past colleagues/industry talent about opportunities @Making_co - they’re excited about our vision & purpose. IMO is great early sign of CMF. #startup
