This case study is a great example for any entrepeneur who wishes to grow quickly, while sparing some of the hard-learned lessons. It's great when other companies are willing to share those lessons for the benefit of the rest of us.
Paul's figured out how to translate his experiences working with F100 companies to high-growth startups. Trickle-down business intelligence at its best. Excellent write-up.
very hands-on guide to the unsexy but critical things needed to build a business, not just a product. great discussion of the org planning thought process - i would add one thing: the need for the CEO to think very deliberately about what kind of culture he/she wants for the company and proactive ways to create it.
Fantastic read. This article provided more insight on building startups than any others I've come across.
Very insightful piece. Great to see advice and tactical tips grounded in a real life case study.
