Ben Erez (Insider Loops, ex-Meta): 'Marc and I are making Insider Loops incorruptible'

Ex-Meta PM and Insider Loops co-founder Ben Erez writes a 30-like LinkedIn post acting on Eric's Lenny's-podcast framing — putting four mission commitments directly into the company's operating agreement, with both partners required to unanimously agree before they can change, and launching a layoff-impacted-PM scholarship as the first proof-of-life.

“Marc and I are making Insider Loops incorruptible. Our inspiration comes directly from what Eric Ries shared on his recent episode of Lenny Rachitsky's podcast. Eric's new book, Incorruptible, dives into the core idea that most "mission-driven" companies are just mission-hopeful and the mission only survives when you build governance around it (before being forced to choose between the mission and the money). Insider Loops is small today and we're still early. We have every excuse to wait on this stuff. But Eric's point is that the best time to make a company incorruptible is when there's not much to corrupt. So we're starting now. We're writing a mission statement directly into our operating agreement, with both partners required to unanimously agree before it can change.” — Ben Erez on LinkedIn
