I'm very curious about the following issue by Mark:<p>"When a company like Netscape hired one top engineer, that person usually came from a top company such as Sun, Oracle, or Silicon Graphics (today Google or Facebook)...That can be really good and immediately infuse your company with skills and knowledge from somewhere else,” he says. “But that can also be really bad. Sometimes that’s not consistent with a coherent culture.”<p>Is there any danger to lose creative and entrepreneurial culture in hyper growing ventures by hiring massive talents from big firms?<p>The hyper growth is fantastic for startups because our past efforts are well payed off, but, if it may cause the lose of creative and entrepreneurial culture that we are going to establish at the same time, we have to do something to avoid. Or I don't have to worry about this?<p>If it's true, I'd like to know how great ventures in SV have dealt with this issue more concretely. I will not count my chickens before they hatch. :)
I'm just curious as an entrepreneur.
