Field notes — number one

The first instalment of loose notes from inside O4A. What we're learning, what we're building and what's next.

Some loose notes from inside O4A.

On starting

The best way to start is to ship something small and real. That's the habit we want from day one.

On platforms

Infrastructure is unglamorous until the moment it's the thing that lets the next company start a year ahead. We build platforms so the businesses on top can move fast.

On patience

Long-term ownership changes how you decide. You stop optimising for the quarter and start optimising for the decade.

Next

Launch week is coming. More soon.
