> Startups tend to have 3 generations of employees > 1. The 1st batch: A random mix of talented and mediocre people. > 2. The pioneers: The nights and weekends crew who believe in the mission. > 3. The settlers: The 9 to 5 crew who are attracted by the success the pioneers created. Why do the pioneers come after the first "random mix"? My experience has been the opposite.
