"Trust makes teams efficient because you don't have to fact-check and feel anxious about what someone else is doing. Everyone knows what’s going on so the flow of information is hyper-fast. We’re not like separate brains trying to figure out what each other knows at certain points in time. We're operating with a hive mind and are all collectively in the same context. This is not always perfect, so it's something that we really strive for because execution is not just about yourself but the team as well." - Sherry Jiang
"Most of the time, what you think is a brilliant idea for your company isn't what comes out. When you start executing it, meeting real potential users, and building the product, it evolves and changes to something that you may have not even imagined in the beginning. A startup should figure out a way to experiment and test what can work in the cheapest way possible. You should be hypotheses-driven and find a way to test and validate the idea. Once you have the inkling that you’re potentially right, narrow down your space, double down in that area, and soon, you will realize that there are a million more ideas related to what you're doing that you have to solve." - Sherry Jiang
"The idea of things going well feels so foreign because we’re used to the bear market right now. You always have to manage risks. When cataclysmic events happen, you don’t want to be caught on the wrong end of things. We are a company born out of a market where being prudent and cautious is better than being aggressively growth-oriented. We are able to learn the lessons about risk management without suffering as many consequences." - Sherry Jiang
