This is a short primer on how we make decisions at Cuckoo, through the prism of the past. If you’re looking to scale up a business, a charity or any organisation of humans this could be helpful to you.
A day at Cuckoo: Jodie (Broadband Eggspert)
When I joined Cuckoo six months ago, I was joining a talented and hardworking team that had already done what many would think impossible - launched a telecoms company in a few months. Now the central questions for me as the new Head of Strategy & Operations were: - What should the business be focusing on in any given week or month? - What projects or initiatives should we say no to for now?
2021 is coming to a close. It’s been an odd year for sure. Over at Cuckoo HQ we’ve got a lot we’d like to celebrate with our flock. We’ve grown over 600% and welcomed 22 friendly new faces to our team (me included!). We wanted to take a quick look back at the journey this year.
This is a blog post about our business. If you’re a Cuckoo team member, just about to join us or generally interested in startups, this is the content for you.
The question we've been asking ourselves, over the past month or so is what is Cuckoo? What defines us as a business? Who do we look for when hiring? And what do we think of as valuable in each other?
We’re on a mission to make broadband simple, for good. And there are plenty of exciting features in our product roadmap that we can’t wait to build. Meet three people who'll help make this happen.
You’re selling shares. It’s simply that. Don’t overthink it.
