Summary from the TLDR Founders newsletter

Tech companies like Plaid succeed through "atomic teams," small focused groups (2-8 people) dedicated entirely to a single project. These teams prioritize clear goals, internal communication, and minimal hierarchy to ensure agility and effective decision-making. They also appoint a leader to protect from external processes and support the team through challenges.
