Summary
As a startup, your one large advantage is speed. Yet it can be a huge cost if used inappropriately. In this talk, we'll discuss rational, and deliberate tradeoffs you as a leader can make to choose speed where appropriate. I'll share decision making frameworks, strategies, and mental models for when to optimize for speed, how to do so in a constructive, responsible way, and how to use it to create real, tangible business and product momentum.
