Abstract
One of the core differences between a product designer in a startup and a product designer in an established company is the spectrum of responsibilities. Startups are the very definition of chaos. This is the case even in the most organized and well-run startups. By their nature, startups are the manifestation of a group of people not knowing whether something will succeed but trying it anyway. Some of those people provide the money (investors); others provide the skills (founders and employees).
