ST6

In early 2014, I created my first real startup, Loanbase. It didn’t start out by that name, but that’s a different story.

In self-managed organizations like ST6, everyone is empowered to make important decisions on a daily basis and is able to impact the future of the organization.

For years I have been living with the idea that every company will become a software company because "Software is eating the world."

Late last year I was invited to my daughter's kindergarten to deliver a presentation about our profession. I thought it would be an interesting challenge to explain "Software Craftsmanship" to 4/5-year-olds and capture their imagination.

Ever since I can remember, I have always had a drive for optimizations across my daily life. From how I do my groceries, to how I organize my work desk

Do you remember the last time you spent your birthday at the office? Did you feel festive or was it just a regular working day for you?

I started my professional career as a .NET developer back in 2004. C# was the new cool kid on the block and everyone wanted to play with it.

Lead Generation is key to any successful business development and sales process.

We live in an era of extreme busyness. It's too easy to get swallowed up by day-to-day tasks and skip taking a minute to just look back and reflect on our day and ourselves.

For the past several months the biggest issue we’ve been struggling with is finding a repeatable sales process for generating leads.

In my previous blog post, I showed you how we at ST6 crafted our AWS Organization and the reasoning behind our choices.

In my previous blog post I talked about the advantages of using a multi-account setup and AWS Organizations. There are many things to consider when you go in this direction.

AWS and other public clouds give developers huge flexibility and freedom to innovate so they can act faster on business requirements. However, such power doesn't come without a cost.

Back in the day when we started ST6 we knew we wanted to build a company that would be a catalyst for profound positive impact on the world

Yesterday Apple announced their next generation UI framework - SwiftUI. What strikes me is its React-inspired philosophy.

You probably know the saying "If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it" but that's not true for JavaScript projects. You should always keep them up-to-date.

On my first day on a new job, I suddenly become very self-aware of my every quirk, of every out-of-place hair, of every wrinkle on my dorky T-shirt. To quote Eminem: "palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy". The only thing missing is the remnants of my mom's spaghetti.

At ST6 we believe that great people build great products. But having great people is not enough, you need to build an environment which will allow those people to flourish. You need to nurture a strong culture that will reinforce your core values.

I feel like I'll be beating a dead horse here. So much has been said about building a strong company culture, yet so few companies succeed.

If you're building a company, you're not building it by yourself so you shouldn't be doing all the work by yourself either.

When I was at Boost VC, each meeting room had a brainy quote on the wall. One of the rooms had the following quote: "Startups are like paper planes, they look better than they fly!"

In the first installment of this series, I mentioned that the biggest reason for startup failure is lack of revenue!

After two and a half failed startups, I’m starting to come up with a list of things which contributed to the downfall of my previous startups. And boy, that list is long, really long!

I am truly passionate about transforming work culture and the ways humans create value together. I have co-founded several organizations based on the principles of Sociocracy, Holacracy, and self-management, and one of them was acquired by Amazon in 2019.

I joined ST6 because it aligns with my vision of how an organization should be structured and how it should operate.

One of the crucial reasons I've decided to join ST6 is the very experienced and intelligent team and the values that we share.

At the beginning of my career, I was as eager to learn and grow professionally as a junior in the field can be. Surprise, surprise :).

Плоската структура на управление на този етап е най-подходяща за професионалисти, търсещи синергията помежду си

Съоснователите твърдят, че в ST6 няма нито един случай на напуснал или уволнен служител.

Wait, no managers, no bosses?
