“inside of 11 Labs if you were to take a look at it we really look like and feel like maybe 10 or 12 individual startups that are all building shipping and iterating all at once... our mobile team is about 12 people right now... each team that we kind of set up as a pod or a speedboat is their own kind of self-contained development design growth product”

Speedboat teams: 12 people, full autonomy, monthly ship cadence

ElevenLabs organizes its 300-400 person company into 10-12 fully self-contained speedboat teams, each with its own design, engineering, growth, and product responsibilities. The mobile team ships major features monthly, far faster than the typical once-per-quarter cadence. This structure lets the company operate as many small startups simultaneously without the coordination overhead that kills speed at larger companies.
