We met Drew and Arash from Dropbox six years ago in a small apartment in San Francisco. The product hadn’t launched yet and they were the only employees.
Today, the company has more than 100 million users.
Recently, Drew and Bryan Schreier, who represents Sequoia on the Dropbox board, sat down for a joint interview with Leena Rao of TechCrunch. It was published last week in three parts, which we’ve included here.
Part one. Drew reveals how he learned what to expect from top executives and how the company’s momentum helps attract talent. Bryan describes how hiring has changed since Google’s early days.
Part two. Drew discusses why he likes to stay on the edge of his comfort zone and the importance of anticipating the new skills he’ll need at least six months in advance. Bryan discloses Dropbox’s original code name. View on TechCrunch.
Part three. Bryan and Drew talk about companies that seem to be focused solely on consumers and why they are often the ones best positioned to target businesses. View on TechCrunch.
