I've also worked at multiple organizations now where a great trick is to hire one "influencer" and then slowly hire everyone they know.
- danesparza 9y agoI don't think I've ever seriously considered packing up and moving before -- but this would. I would move to work at Stripe with a great team. I even have some team members in mind ...
- guessaway 9y agoInteresting! I wonder how many teams they have hired this way. Any followups on this?
- brudgers 9y agoFor me, the interesting parts of Stripe's description of BYOT are the size limit 2-5 and the acknowledgement that it is an experiment. The size because of the current top comment to the question describes a larger team and the problem of pruning for needs and Stripe more or less shifts pruning to the team. The experiment because it seems directly drawn from YC's language regarding new programs -- maybe it will work and we'll try it out and see.
