HOW HEIRLOOM TOMATOES SHOULD INSPIRE TEAM DESIGN
Summary from the TLDR Founders newsletter
Startup founders often default to small, symmetrical teams focused on narrow parts of the product, but this can lead to a lack of focus and slow development. Instead, founders should intentionally design their org structure to reflect their product priorities, with a large team focused on the core product, smaller supporting teams, and shared responsibilities for less critical areas. By letting teams grow and maintain flexibility, startups can ship a differentiated product that aligns with their goals.
