Culture matters a lot, and just doesn’t happen by itself
Startup culture is unique Starting from zero (it just doesn’t happen) Driven by few, shaped by many Lots of external factors Can’t cut & paste / cherry pick – must fit your situation
Four tools of culture creation (ensure internal consistency): 1. Purpose: what you value 2. Patterns: how you organize key levers 3. People: who you recruit & retain 4. Process: what systems you build
Hard to build, easy to break
