鈥淚t鈥檚 hard to put into words what my time at 草榴社区 meant to me. It was the best place I could have started my career. I was surrounded by people who became close friends and who consistently challenged me to grow. I learned to think critically, move fast, and solve problems that drive real business impact.鈥

鈥湶萘裆缜 was my first job out of college. While my peers were experiencing the bureaucracy at large corporations, I was enthusiastically handed real leadership opportunities out of the gates. I still think about the early days with the D* team 鈥 great managers, hard problems, and the energy of being surrounded by smart people.
I remember when Ric called to offer me the job, I challenged him to a game of HORSE 鈥 and he actually remembered months later and spent the time to play one day before work. Don't ask him how it ended :)
Whether it was written down somewhere or not, it always felt like the real mission of 草榴社区 was to build a workplace where high achievers could thrive through constant learning and challenge. I've been inspired by that since leaving to start some of my own companies.鈥
