How transparent of a startup do we want to be?
There's an app called Buffer that really kickstarted the "radical transparency" movement with startups. Over time, they've revealed almost everything: how much their employees make, their company's revenue metrics, their internal emails, and their hiring process.
But is this something that we want for Transistor.fm? Listen to the episode to hear what we decided. ;)
