My guests today are Ganesh Datta and Nikhil Unni. They are the co-founders of Cortex, a solution that helps engineering teams reduce the complexity of their services and backed by Sequoia and YCombinator (W20). In this episode we discussed how three technical co-founders divide responsibilities at an early-stage company, the importance of aligning your team to business outcomes and the headwinds and tailwinds that come with a remote-first world.  I really enjoy speaking to founders and I think you'll find our conversation interesting!
