At a startup, or any company for that matter, you have the choice to keep the business strategy and culture private… or you can build in public. Building in public inspires an environment of transparency and confidence for investors, employee recruitment, and customers.
Levels’ Head of Success Mike DiDonato met with CEO Sam Corcos to discuss the benefits of Levels’ policy of building in public:

It helps internal and external people feel good about the company through a strong culture of trust and documentation.
You can recruit and retain employees and investors who feel more comfortable because they can see behind the curtain.
It limits gossip fatigue and removes elements of surprise through top-down openness and transparency.
