The document discusses governance in startups and evolutionary governance. As startups grow, their initial teams of a founder/CEO, engineering, and sales become more complex and a hierarchy is formalized. Some challenges that come up include setting deadlines and deciding on technology stacks. The document introduces evolutionary or dynamic governance models like dynamic governance and Holacracy that aim to help startups organize and make decisions through consent-based processes and organizing teams into interconnected circles to facilitate evolution.
