Venner: Scaling requires process automation to avoid linear headcount growth

Venner: Startups should rely on 'smart people, stupid systems' over process
“You can like constrain a company by putting too much process in too early and stunt the growth. So you always have to assume smart people, stupid systems, let the right people do the right thing in the moment. But track them, how they're doing it, what they're…”
