    I love the thrill. I love the ambiguity in what's going to happen next and the teamwork it takes to make what we want happen ❤️ What about you?

    The insane growth you experience working on something that's hard but that you deeply believe in.

    Being able to experiment with new channels and ideas, and not being afraid to fail
    LisaKim
    @yulia_mamonova Experimenting is a good one. I'm surprised it hasn't been brought up till now!! What were some of your most recent experiments?
    Simona Stamatovska
    It's the vibes! Working with a small team of passionate people running towards the vision we all share, each having its own responsibility and autonomy that complete the puzzle on the long road. The warm culture of learn-to-fail, adapting quickly and moving fast is another way to love working at a startup ⚡

    I've been working at startups for the past 7 years of all sizes - 20 employees to 120 - and I love the impact you have working there. Your work really shows and things move really fast. No need to wait around for approvals or hear "It's always been done this way"
    LisaKim
    @elifares Can't imagine a startup of 120 people.. wow! lol "it's always been done this way" is something I haven't heard working 4 years at a startup either, and I'm happy that I haven't ✌️✌️ Cheers!
    Elias Fares
    @mycelebs_elle Yeh, 120 and up starts to become a small size business right? Lol oops I meant that sentence is said in corporate companies which is one of the reasons I prefer working at a startup (or starting one too).

    @azaroos Hey Azar, I just checked out your website. Are you building a travel insurance platform? I cannot read the language, sorry 😭
    Azar Dunyaminoghlu
    @mycelebs_elle You can change the language of the website to english or russian also. I will link below for you :) We drive online insurance platform that makes easier to get your insurance policies online as well. There you can find travel, auto, casco, medical and property insurance products. Link in eng: https://insure.az/en

    @azaroos Ah! I wonder why I didn't see that! Thanks so much :) Easy access to travel insurance is something that I really support..!

    Finding a product-market fit; creating value that didn't exist before.
    LisaKim
    @sasha_krsmanovic Very interesting. What kind of values are you creating with your product? Just curious!!!

    That it is new and feels important

    The feeling of even the smallest achievement has the ability to make your day. You tend to celebrate the small wins too.
    For me it is having dynamic work days, no work days are the same, you are creating something from the scratch and watching it blossom is one of the most rewarding feelings.
    LisaKim
    @inesfenner Hey Sandra! Did you build Tira? Awesome product, there's definitely something blossoming on your side :)

    I love that we get to be the guinea pig for all the new ideas the founders or sometimes I come up with, no matter how far-fetched or untested! It's always a fun challenge to see if I can make them work. :)
    LisaKim
    @savan_vyas1 Hey, Savan! I just checked out Photosonic AI from your profile page. You and your team was WAYY ahead of the game!! Props to you guys, huge respect! 🤟🤟

    the pace, the excitement, and the team spirit to hitting huge goals with such limited resources, realising what is possible when you work as a team and are ambitious, hard working and crazy enough to believe you can achieve the lofty goals we are pursuing.
    LisaKim
    @highgroundio I wasn't in favor how limited resources were, but the more I work, the more I realize how limits stimulate creativity and productivity for the team!

    Καλησπέρα σας μου αρέσει όταν εργαζομε σε μια startup. Να υπάρχει δουλειά προσκοπικά για μένα.
    Joanne Hurley
    For me it's that no 2 days are the same. You don't just feel like you are a cog in the wheel and you get to see the results of your hard work pretty quickly. Also that you don't get trapped in a box, in early stage start-ups its all hands on deck.

    LisaKim
    @satish_kumar23 I feel like I get it...but I kind of dont... Does this proverb mean "do your work everyday?"
    Satish Kumar
    @mycelebs_elle no I don't work everyday but for me working in a startup is like everyday or everyweek a new challenge is waiting for you and you have to work on it.

    Its extreme levels of uncertainty and unpredictability :)

    I love that you get to think like an entrepreneur when working at a startup. It can be a great learning experience too if you want to start your own company some day.

    Have experience in at least 2 starting-up manufacturing plants. It's challenging yet rewarding after putting in the systems and the people. I am now looking for a start up to join.
    LisaKim
    @cres_gallego Nice to meet you Cres! It would be awesome if you linked your Linkedin on your profile, so I can keep you updated if any startup jobs come through my way :)
    Cres Gallego

    Fully agree. Also, I love the dedication and enthusiasm of those smart scientists. For me : hopefully bringing some cool and effective therapies to patients is very exciting
    LisaKim
    @stefanglu OMG, ARE YOU A THERAPIST?! I was in therapy for 5 months last year.. It changed the way I looked at myself, treated myself. And it changed my life! Your work is so valuable, I have so much respect for it ❤️ Nice to meet you.
    Stefan Glück
    Wishing you the best ! Hopefully your therapy was easy !!
