Why Did Ineffable Keep the Team Small?

Ineffable has hired 20 people and is keeping the team small on purpose. Ineffable is not in a hurry to build a giant organization, because a small number of incredibly talented people can do an awful lot now.

Hiring looks for four things together: exceptional talent, kind and collaborative people, alignment with the mission, and the right set of skills. Standards and expectations for the people who come in are very high. The small headcount also keeps compute per person high. One person can run a lot of experiments, and the group is not fighting for resources from day one.
