"It’s all about expectation setting at the beginning. When people joined, they joined because they wanted to be a part of building something big, building something great, transforming an industry, having a huge impact on people’s lives."

Michal Rosenn, General Counsel, Kickstarter
"Break free from the expectations of how technology companies or tech companies based in Silicon Valley or in the tech world here in New York are expected to operate. Think more creatively about the way that you’re handling compensation."
