Recursive founder mode is about finding people who are founders at heart and making them the CEOs of their own products within the company. Traditional founder mode does not scale as you expand your product portfolio. By hiring visionaries like Lars Griemel for the AI SDK or Tom Leonard for Fluid Compute, we build a recursive software factory where product leads operate with a pioneering spirit.
