    Thanks for sharing, Luke. Is the company now split between the two products (crew.co and unsplash) with staff choosing which to join? If so, how did that all work out for you? Sounds scary...

      Great question.

      About a year ago we started building a separate team for Unsplash inside of Crew. Everyone has been new hires and we've built the two teams side-by-side. With the exception of Mikael (who's the CEO of Crew), everyone works full time on either Crew or Unsplash. There was a point where a few of us tried to help on both products, but it became far too difficult to prioritize things, since it was hard to figure out what was more important: Feature A for Crew or Feature B for Unsplash.

      I think that could make a very interesting article at some point — how and why we split the teams the way we did, and all the processes and mechanics involved in running a company inside of another company, while trying to make both grow.
