DaisukeMAN startup Iâve been talking about how one of the extremely important jobs of a founder is to âcompile company historyâ from inception to today, and to keep it updated. Today, we all talked about it. In a startup where the number of people keeps increasing and things change day by day, there is rarely a tool that can unify everyone in the organization as much as the âhistory from inception to todayâ.

DaisukeMAN When Akita-san, formerly of Cookpad and now of Kufu Company, was asked, âWhat is the most important thing for a company in its start-up phase?â Akita, formerly of Cookpad and now of Fuu Company, was asked, âWhat is the most important thing for a company in its start-up period? Take pictures. You can get money and people for whatever you want, but you canât get your memories back. But you canât get memories back.â I thought this episode captured the essence of the question very well. Akita Akita
No - I sympathize with that idea, legitimacy through continuity or prehistoricism. However, actual startup founders are fighting on the brink of âlife or death,â âsuccess or failure,â and they do not have the luxury of securing the âresources needed after the organization grows to success. And then, after it is lost and canât be recovered, they say, âWe needed to secure the memories.
I think itâs not a bad idea for a start-up organization to take on the history record as a way of Peripheral Participation.
- It helps me understand it, it helps others around me, and itâs not a critical path, so itâs not a heavy responsibility.
