"The most wonderful aspect of David and Reiko's book is how wide-ranging the examples are; nobody can claim fanocracy does not apply to their line of work. When Andy and I started OPEN cycle, our goal was working hard to stay small. That meant we only had time to do what was critical: Product development, taking care of customers, and not much else. Despite foregoing all other 'essential' activities, OPEN is way more successful than we ever thought possible. By talking to our customers so much, we unwittingly created a fanocracy and let me tell you, not only is it the most successful way I’ve ever set up a company, it’s also the most fun.”
