Shujun and Akram both came from large tech companies like Microsoft, Dell and Uber and we had to adjust our working styles to fit into the startup world.

Working at a startup unveils the truly rewarding experience of being able to ship products at a speed that larger organizations simply cannot match, for various reasons.

1. Staying very close to the customer The direct feedback loop with our customers is invaluable. It allows you to understand their needs deeply and respond with solutions that truly matter vs having multiple layers between you and the customers

2. Speed matters We prioritize shipping fast. This approach means our initial releases might not be perfect, but we're okay with that. Our agility allows us to revisit and refine our solutions in record time, often within hours.

3. Month to Month Roadmaps Our roadmap evolves on a month-by-month basis. This flexibility ensures we're always aligned with our customers' changing needs vs 3 month or 6 month roadmaps that may not be effective for a company at our stage.

4. Ultra short sprints One-week sprints empower us to react swiftly to new updates, feedback, or challenges, keeping our momentum strong and our focus sharp. We often ship features within a single sprint and the ones that take longer we try to ship them in phases

5. Efficient Daily Standups Our standups are brief and to the point. We conduct most of our coordination asynchronously, reserving our 15-minute meetings for tackling blockers and clarifications.

6. Continuous Testing and Improvement In our culture, everyone is a tester and a bug reporter. This collective ownership over quality ensures that we can ship quickly and refine continuously.

7. One Team We think collectively and not individually, we put everything out there for our team to make autonomous decisions without having to get back to us all the time.
