Thanks for your comments. So just to make it clear, we've introduced this model, as we want to stay relatively small and to avoid second line of management. Valve's example shows the cons of the model in a really big organization, while we are 20 ppl, friends and family and we know each other really well. Plus being devoted to agile makes us solve problems really efficiently. I'm not trying to say that the model is perfect and we won't make any mistakes, but for sure we will avoid the biggest problems with scaling.

There are still 4 owners, just like before the changes. Still all the decisions about the company are made within tho whole team. Shareholders do not have any more decision power than the others.

Thx for the link!

Of course the social structure will evolve, however we're not afraid of 'secret social structures' as the company is fully transparent and we all have similar mindset.

For 3 years we've been all working remotely from our homes - I can imagine, that during this time, any 'secret structures' would have already appeared.

Hey guys, We are developing a tool for the developers, which will simplify the process of code reviews, but also make it more social. We would appreciate your feedback.
