Pros

Fully remote workforce, really talented people, extremely rapid company growth in 2.5 years, ability to own a lot, there have been things implemented to drive people development and performance & have true impact in shaping a new business model that doesn't (yet) have a history of successes in the marketplace. The leadership team is strong, some of which have already seen successful exits. The Founder & CEO is a strong capital raiser which is critical in staying alive through a tough market.

Cons

The ride has been a bit volatile. 2021 extremely was rapid growth, 2022 was a slow down with a couple layoffs. 2023 is more stagnant so far but seems to be improving. Though this is more of a reflection of the market than it is of anything Heyday specific and more outlines the unpredictability of VC-backed startups. Separately, ecommerce and specifically aggregator type business models are still very nascent, there will be winners and Heyday is emerging as one of those and well-positioned during these "survive and advance" times, but a bit bumpy along the way... Fully remote, global culture can also be tricky.
