Zipline

Zipline was easily the best company in my long career: 1 - Stellar team of people you just can't not love spending all day with. I was pushed to grow by them every single day. 2 - A mission that matters. Most companies work on "nice-to-haves", but the world really would be missing out if Zipline didn't succeed. This is rare, especially in Silicon Valley. 3 - Autonomy. I never had anyone breathing down my neck or giving marching orders. It was a new challenge for me, but learning what the company really needs and getting that done is empowering! Our team got by with a third as many people as any other hardware startup for this amount of output.

I had to part ways with Zipline when my family situation required me to move far away
