    • Marketing

This week on How to Win: Tony Jamous, co-founder and CEO at Oyster, an HR platform for hiring and managing a distributed team of remote workers. Founded just two years ago in 2020, Oyster has experience hyper-growth and now sits at over 300 team members, having raised both Series A and Series B funding in 2021 for a combined total of over $70M. In this episode, Tony shares how Oyster built a team and company culture that allowed them to act fast and scale quickly when the opportunity arose, and why having a strong, mission-oriented narrative permeate all aspects of the business has been key to their success. I share my thoughts on how to optimize for speed, why understanding the culture you want for your company is important both internally and publicly, and how a clear mission statement can be a powerful rallying cry to your audience.
