Building The Right Culture

First Round Review recently released its 2015 State of StartupsFirst Round surveyed more than 500 venture-backed founders to find out what it's like to run a startup today. 

While all the findings are interesting, the one finding I want to highlight on this blog is this: startup founders' top concern is hiring the right people. First Round points out that, "building the right culture to keep this talent happy and effective is a bigger concern than raising money or losing customers."

In the famous words of Peter Drucker, culture [still] eats strategy for breakfast.
