Every quarter, we hold a company-wide meeting called Last Quarter at Front. In it, we go over results from the last quarter and our vision for the weeks ahead. These greatly contribute to our These are the slides from LQAF Q2 in 2019.
7. If we can do that, there isn’t much stopping us from profoundly transforming the
way people work. We have a decent shot at it: we have a great product, and it’s
time for it to fulfill its potential and meet its market. Many great challenges will
inevitably follow if we keep high ambitions, but the next frontier is undoubtedly
this one: getting an order of magnitude more users. And as Front grows more
resilient as a company, I’m looking forward to all of us growing more resilient as
well, as individuals. I sincerely believe that a prerequisite to “working happier” is
to always feel in control of our destiny, through the good and through the bad.
I’m as grateful as ever to be on this journey with all of you.
Now let’s do this! Happy new year :)
