  • Start explicitly documenting and “negotiating” your culture as soon as you grow to 10 people or more.

    • Scaling culture

    • Hiring the right people is the only way to scale culture.
    • Hire for values rather than skills alone.
    • Acknowledge that on-boarding new people requires effort from your existing employees.

      • The topic of salaries

      • Fairness and transparency are key, but don’t allow salaries to take center stage in everything you do.
