Funny enough, one of my early startup experiences absolutely included, “here’s your (unassembled) chair and an Allen wrench.”

Yup! My first day on the last job (also a startup) started with me getting a desk with no power socket nearby. So I had to buy an extension cord (on the company's expense ofc) and run it across the open space.

I'm irrationally fond of this memory, too. It just felt right to improvise and overcome small problems, all day every day. Early stage startups are fun.
