QuantumLight's new playbook reveals seven secrets to scaling elite startups
QuantumLight, a VC firm founded by Vladyslav Storonsky in 2022, has released a new playbook on building high-performance startups. The guide draws on best practices from Revolut’s internal management platform, Revolut People, where Storonsky co-authored key strategies. It offers seven clear tips for scaling teams effectively. The playbook’s first recommendation is to make performance the top priority. Companies should focus on hiring and retaining ‘A-players’—the highest-performing employees.
A second tip suggests creating a small performance team of one or two operators. Their role is to oversee and streamline all performance-related processes.
Tip three advises defining a structured talent framework. This helps distinguish between great and merely good performance with precision.
For faster reviews, tip four proposes standardising assessments. Quarterly performance checks become quicker and more consistent as a result.
The fifth suggestion involves standardising promotions and flagging underperformers early. Automatic triggers help identify issues before they escalate.
To reward top talent, tip six recommends offering performance-based equity bonuses. This keeps high achievers motivated and aligned with company success.
Finally, tip seven urges paying above-average salaries for above-average talent. Competitive compensation ensures the best candidates stay engaged and committed. The playbook combines Revolut’s internal expertise with QuantumLight’s focus on AI-driven growth. Startups adopting these guidelines aim to build stronger, more efficient teams. The seven tips provide a clear roadmap for scaling performance management.
