FOUNDER MODE VS BUREAUCRAT MODE

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Bureaucrat mode is what happens when companies get big, scaled, and successful. People purposely implement best practices with good intentions, but these processes can make it hard to get anything done. Startups have a huge advantage over large companies in that they can move incredibly fast and just focus on output. As startups start to gain success and get bigger, they start to get bogged down with bureaucracy. This allows for newer, more nimble startups to emerge - then the cycle continues.
