Aravind Srinivas, CEO of Perplexity AI, recently shared his insights on team building for startups during a talk at Stanford. He emphasized the importance of having an 'extreme bias for action' and taking risks when hiring individuals who may not yet be experts. Srinivas believes in assembling a team with complementary skills, where cofounders should excel in areas where he does not.
As the company grows, maintaining speed and agility becomes crucial, especially as the team approaches 100 members. Srinivas advocates for giving opportunities to those with potential rather than solely hiring established experts, promoting a culture of experimentation. He also addressed recent controversies regarding content attribution, asserting that Perplexity AI aims to provide proper credit to original sources.
