One lesson that I think is getting buried here - hiring 100+ people when you're not yet at product-market-fit makes it really hard to try and get to product-market-fit.
It's a lot easier to experiment, learn, and iterate when the team is small. Gets very difficult when you're 100+ so quickly.
- Digory 7y agoI’m glad someone took a gamble on an MVP that needed 100+ to pull off. We need more of that — 100 people is still a pretty small organization, even for law firms. We have lots of problems that need 100+ to solve. But the ability to pivot was obviously hamstrung. The team necessary for “plan b” didn’t have much overlap with “plan a.”
- robhunter 7y ago"MVP" and "need 100+ people" seem like mutually exclusive things. In this case, I think the headcount was a bug rather than a feature.
