“Ah the joys of building a company in the pandemic! It is challenging. From my perspective, thankfully, when you’re running a startup, you have to decide if you’re going after a big enough problem, and if you actually have a solution that fits. For us - we have that. Then - can you meet the demand? For that you need to build a team, you need to empower them as much as possible, and then get the hell out of their way.” - John Fohr
In this episode
Our CEO John Fohr joined Andrew Correll on his podcast Beyond the Policy, where they talked about what it’s like to build a company during a global pandemic, and how to keep company culture strong in a virtual or hybrid work environment.
From a few people in one room with a whiteboard to a large, decentralized group spread across time zones, our company has grown rapidly -- in this episode, John talks about his approach to recreating in-office energy over Zoom and Slack, and how to unite a team by celebrating wins.
