When founding teams outgrow their original decision-making structures

Our founding team of four has been together for two years and we still make every decision by consensus, which worked when we were figuring out product-market fit but now we're scaling and we spend entire meetings debating things one person should just own. None of us wants to be the one who breaks the equality we built the company on.

What we've seen

Deciding everything together worked at first, but now it slows you down, and no one wants to give up the equality you built on.
