Welcome to part two of my post on Product Org Design: From Early to Late Stage to Post-IPO. Here’s where we’re at:

  1. What do sample organisational designs look like per company stage?

  2. What lessons have I learned from the organisational design changes I’ve been subject to, across 3 case studies:

    • Growing Littlepay (from Angel/Seed to Series A)

    • Growing TIER (Scaling up, in Series C) when the company grew from 600 to 4,000+ staff within 12 months ← this post

    • Splitting PayPal (post-IPO) from eBay in 2015 ← this post

  3. What are the Critical Success Factors for designing Product Organisations and communicating well regardless of size? ← this post


Late Stage ‘Scale-up’ (Series C/D)
