    1. OKR-blindness has infected nearly every VC-funded org since the day it worked for Kleiner Perkins with Google. VCs are nothing if not predictable cargo cultists. They lucked out once with Google, so they must be geniuses and should repeat the same plan for all time! slightlylate/1554505837975965698

    These same failures - not understanding or valuing longer timescale equities - have demonstrable and extremely painful deleterious effects at nearly every company I've been with, each blindly cargo-culting the big VC firms.

      I leave - typically - when it's clear these places don't have interest in long-term solutions that require more than monthly or quarterly OKRs. Real, substantial impact cannot be done at that scale. They just want Googlebucks, not a future-proof product.
