Steph Ango (@kepano) on /obsidian's small team, user-supported, no-investor structure:
"I just like the Ocean's Eleven model the best."
Steph reflects on different ways to build companies and how in today's world, you can build something quite ambitious with a small group:
"In the previous company that I ran, whenever we had a problem, it was like, 'Who can we hire who is an expert on this problem?' We'd go find the best person, hire them, and then empower them to solve this problem.
Now, if we have this problem, hiring is off the table. We basically don't hire. We have seven people full-time. We probably have three or four million users, and we're seven people. That's pretty crazy. It's definitely possible to do something like that."
