Team Offsite for Annual Planning

Dates
Dec 13 mon - 16 thurs
Link
Location
Mill Valley

Team, at our annual offsite, let’s remind ourselves for why we are building. We are here for the radical change and the 10X impact. If you’d like to drive a team discussion during offsite, write up a full-page essay. There are 20 people in attendence and many matters to deep dive. Writing your ideas – IN PROSE – and sharing them in public, similar to Amazon's executive memos, will be critical for alignment and followups.

On the other hand, read the agenda and reference here before joining the team discussion. There will be small group chats and brainstorming, but we shall keep up a high engagement and drive full consensus at the 20-person time slots.
