Former Waze CEO left Google: "I was worn down by the nature of the beast."

Working in a corporate beast, like Google, is a challenge on it's own. I think it's the same as Indiehacking, it's for some people but not for all of us.

I was the naive start-up leader believing that I can build out Waze within Google to its full potential and conquer the beast, regardless of its nature.

We start companies to build products that serve people, not to sit in meetings with lawyers.
You need to be able to answer the "what have I done for our users today" question with "not much but I got promoted"
