Founders

I kind of have a weird aversion to using C-suite titles at a small, early stage team. Feels weird for me to ever say out loud or write down 😂

I am curious if anyone here has experience building medium sized orgs (10-200 let’s say) following square’s ~titleless philosophy (ref https://medium.com/@gokulrajaram/the-one-thing-ceos-should-delay-as-long-as-possible-ea28347714b0) and what your thoughts on the experience are

I love @henri's bio title "keeper of the fabric"

The higher status you are the more inane your title can be

lol me as well, I’m not sure I’ve ever introduced myself as CEO

Founder seems better

just use C Syntax instead. it's way cooler

@pirosb3 since you're running it internally I'd call you main() then Linda would be stdio.h ? bringing in and output together?

Haha Linda is more like libuv.h: can take up 1000 tasks concurrently 🤣

It’s important to stay humble! Hope the weird aversion becomes more widespread

hence i love being called just a founder....

Not weird aversion, sensible 

Pretty cringe when a “CFO” is also a one person finance team

In early stages multitasking reigns! I agree with your reflection hahaha

Same here. Everybody is kind-of a C-suite in smaller firms. “Morning C-suite” / “how are you C-suite”
98 $DEGEN

Isn't that overrated until the company ranks?

agree, it sounds a bit pompous. that's how it was in my first team too, but due to our inexperience (which made it even more comical), we didn't know how to name ourselves differently 🫣

It is objectively funny when your firm is three people, all “C-suite” sharing a coworking space between themselves and the intern 😅

Hard agree. Big fan of just saying (co-)founder.

Yeah. Felt icky to me 🤢 / job titles are made up. Might as well be head bit flipper or biz wiz 🤓
