Driving Jeeps and Building Rails
You can’t drive a train through a forest. A jeep with five people in it would be a different story. It would be fun and you could move pretty quickly over terrain that had not been thoroughly explored.
The Startup Analogy
What has this got to do with working as a software engineer? Well this is analogy helps us understand why starts up sometimes beat major players. They may not have the weight behind them but they can cover a lot of ground without much support and they can change direction quickly. Ultimately though when it comes time to scale you have to lay down some rails.
The SEEKR Team's Journey
The business that the SEEKR team are currently recruiting for was once a start-up in the energy business at a time when nobody thought it would be possible to be serious competition for the incumbents in this space. These days they run on rails and they are in the top 5 in the UK.
The Accelerator Unit
They don’t want to lose their speed of innovation though and so they have launched an accelerator unit within their business. Imagine four jeeps with 5 full stack software engineers in each running ahead of a much larger team laying train tracks and you start to get the picture.

- A can-do mentality.
