Are stress, hype and ego mandatory for startups? In this panel, three CEOs discuss whether it is possible for sensible startups to still be successful. Silicon Valley icons and investors have famously scoffed at work/life balance. What are the real risks and rewards for young companies taking a more sane approach to culture? Review best practices, big mistakes and discuss new ways to bring sensibility into the classic startup model.
