Windsurf's CEO Varun Mohan shared insights on the potential pitfalls of having large teams work on unproven ideas during a podcast discussion. He highlighted that teams should ideally consist of three to four individuals, suggesting that larger teams complicate alignment and can lead to miscommunication. Mohan emphasized starting product development with a small group to quickly validate ideas, stating that even a subpar version of a promising concept is beneficial for early testing. This approach is becoming common among startups, particularly those leveraging AI to streamline operations and foster innovation with limited resources.
When it comes to building new products, a bigger team isn't always better. It might be what kills the idea altogether, said Windsurf's CEO, Varun Mohan.
Mohan recommends keeping early-stage product teams lean - ideally just three to four people.
