If it would have taken 100 employees to build a customer-ready product before and today it only takes 10, then those 90 extra employees can go start nine more companies. Even better, since many of the 90 employees in the only company would have been working on things like payments, bank integrations, authentication, scheduling, background checks, data labeling, and more, all of which was non-core and can now be plugged via API, it unleashes energy that can be used on innovation instead of execution. # Compounding Crazy  ## Metadata - Author: [[Packy McCormick]] - Full Title: Compounding Crazy - Category: #articles - URL: https://www.notboring.co/p/compounding-crazy ## Highlights - Less explored is the fact that if a new company needs fewer employees, because it can outsource whole functions to APIs and software, there are more talented employees freed up to go start their own things.
