Work pro-bono part-time for 10–15 hours a week for an early-stage startup on their product. Any frameworks I can leverage? Of course all of this is from 2014–16 while I was there so things should be a lot different now. Seeing a long list of Indian SaaS startups as you can see in this blog post makes me very happy.

Then I left Google in 2014 to start Coda. How has that transition been for you, going from the giant company that is Google back to the early-stage startup that is Coda? We had confidence in our thesis, and we could see how it was working, but I find that usually your confidence in business doesn’t come out of some framework.
