Nov 15th, 2022 @1:00 pm

For many startups it begins as a team. The team does everything from closing business to delivering marketing t-shirts, and yes, they build the product too. But as the Startup grows the importance of teams is replaced by specialist skills and processes. Departments replace teams, and managers coordinate resources and slowly the startup grows up to be more like the companies it is disrupting. But it does not have to be that way. Startups can evolve into centric environments where people flourish, and customers and value are the priority.
