We started as a small company. We prided ourselves on being fast, unburdened, and keeping everything simple.
I think that this was the foundation of your success. If you can combine this with a team of smart driven individuals then any project has a good chance of success. Once you start to add too many rules and regulations every gets worse and slows down. It limits what you can do and how you can adapt to the world. You do need a certain amount of rules to have structure and grow so it's a fine balance to have.
It absolutely was. A line we would say to ourselves: It's the fast that eat the slow.
