How do you share knowledge within the team as you grow?

I joined a startup (11 people) not too long ago after working for a company that was around 500 people big.

What I noticed is that the company I'm currently working for is that there's no real structure in place to enable sharing knowledge within the teams. I'm seeing that most of the knowledge is in the heads of the founders. I'd like to see this change gradually so that everyone in the team understands more (and, in turn, democratize decision making).

How have you enabled your team to share knowledge? Where I used to work we used Confluence, but I feel like that's overkill for a startup and I'm not a huge fan of document-based knowledge base / internal wikis.

Any thoughts on this? Also founders: do you worry about this at all?

We use 'Helpie Knowledgebase/Wiki Plugin' which is based on WordPress. I don't think there are better solutions to share Knowledge other than a simple, customizable Knowledgebase.
