How do you develop a strong and diverse team culture in a start-up?
At techstars (340 employees at the time I left), I had proposed to setup a rotating 15min stand-up with 5 VP level members (within 3min each) to share their wins, goals, blockers. There were 42 VPs at the time and having 2 standups a week enabled each person to have a standup once a month. A written summary would be shared on the slack channel. In a remote first culture sharing what people are working on for awareness is key in a company this size it's very doable.
