“If you're not embarrassed by the first version, you shipped too late.”- Reid Hoffman
The Story Behind This Song
Ramp's story blew up on Lenny's podcast. They hit $100M ARR in just 2 years, making them the fastest-growing SaaS company ever, with fewer than 5 PMs and 50 engineers. Their internal mantra was 'our culture is velocity.' Keith Rabois added the framework that stuck: speed isn't reckless, it's a proxy for how much you care about your users' time. Every week you don't ship is a week your users are stuck with a worse version of the thing you already built.
