We plan to still be here

Most startups aim for fast growth and a fast exit. We do not. Our goal is not to get big quickly. It is to stay around. A decade from now, same company, same product, better version.

This goal explains almost every decision we make. Why we build slowly. Why we collect the least data we can. Why we treat overtime as a sign of a problem. All of it comes back to longevity. You cannot run a marathon with a sprinter’s habits.

We will probably grow slower than other companies. That is fine. We will still be here.
