Leadership: hire culture first
SolweyCo argued that lessons from big‑tech to startups boil down to three practical moves — culture‑first hiring, tight business‑technical alignment, and creating space for engineers to do deep work — in a March 19 writeup (x.com).
Solwey Consulting is an Austin-based boutique software firm that bills itself as a custom‑software and UX/UI studio on its public profiles. (crunchbase.com) The firm’s founder, Andrew Drach, was profiled in TechCrunch in December 2021 in a piece that traces his move from academia to running boutique development shops. (techcrunch.com) Solwey’s public service listings and project pages name UX/UI design, web and mobile app development, e‑commerce and data science as core offerings, matching the operational focus implied by its recent post. (solwey.com) Business‑information providers record Solwey as a small shop: LeadIQ classifies the company in the 11–50 employee range while RocketReach lists a 23‑employee headcount on its profile. (leadiq.com) Solwey also appears on industry recognition pages and freelance/agency platforms, including a Stevie Awards company listing and an Upwork agency profile, indicating both award‑entry activity and marketplace engagement.
