- High agency, rapid prototyping, strong feedback loops, fast learning, big vision with tractable steps, low friction to getting things done
- Mission over self: aim for large and scalable impact, as a core teammate at a small growing startup each person has a lot of leverage on our impact on the world
- Team spirit: support and invest in each other’s growth, take the long view on people, celebrate large and small wins
- Idea meritocracy: may the best ideas win regardless of who or where they come from
- Not allergic to the nitty gritty: it’s hard to create value without that
- Don’t solve problems that don’t exist yet.
- Ruthlessly cut requirements, tasks, actions, projects until the environment forces you to add them back in, prioritize mostly by default based on the strongest gradients
