Leo Widrich discusses Buffer's transparency and investor relationships
Full Transcript
um are the investors you have do they like what you do in in that terms of oversharing or like communicating uh yeah um so great great question um we were very so we were lucky very lucky on on on on on two things definitely more than two things but two things in in regards to that um the first one is that um our investors are great investors and we were really lucky that a lot of them are very supportive of what we do um and they cheer us on and they have you know great great great thoughts for us um whenever we do those things and they tweet those things when we make them transparent as well um so that's the one thing we've been lucky about the second thing we've been lucky about is the only control over the company lies with Joel and myself so our investors don't have any Say in any of the decision making within the company so we don't have a board we do have a board the board is just Joel and myself um and so it's actually funny because sometimes we get emails saying like this this probably needs board approval sorry that this needs board approval and uh we are like yeah okay the board approves it um so it's kind of uh it kind of is is it's one of those things that um we didn't plan it we we were very close to actually getting a board with outside people and we may actually get that in the future um but it's been amazing that we don't have to ask anyone we just do this crazy stuff and and people be like yeah you're crazy and we are like yeah but no one can do anything about it and uh um and we think it's the right thing to do so uh yeah I hope that answers the question
