Replied byDavid Baszucki
Founder & CEO, Roblox at Roblox Corporation
Niche: Technology
Revenue: Approx. 400 Million USD/month
Location: USA
Started: 2004
I had to re-architect myself. Early on you can yell and push with raw energy; at scale that fails. I became more zen about feedback pausing before saying 'that will never scale' and delivering it helpfully. I also trust my gut more without over-clamping it with analysis.
