Founders

We changed our entire company culture with this one decision...

Last month, I made an offer to everyone at our company: $25,000 to quit.

6 people took it.

Here's a story about how we paid 20% of our employees $25,000 to quit

But, why?

Because I fucked up. I'm sharing the story to be open about what happened, why I did it, and maybe it can be helpful to others going through a similar situation. We did this at a time when things are really starting to happen. We just passed 2m identities on XMTP, bought the biggest consumer app on top of the protocol, have raised $50m in total, and the world needs a decentralized and secure messaging protocol more than ever.

Founders & CEOs, I’m curious what you think about this? If you’re a team member, would you like something like this?
