You could make 16 teams of 6 and give each one a different startup idea. You could then create some metric for success and then choose to continue to work on the one with the most success.
I could. I’ve run very large development groups. It takes a lot of time and effort to get it right and with 16 groups of 6 it would be the same overhead, if not more. It just wouldn’t be for me, that’s all. I think I’d be much more successful with one strategic team of 6. If you can manage 16 teams working on projects for 100 days, by all means go for it.
