The Editorial Team byline is used for pieces that are reported and written by more than one person on staff. It covers our weekly listicles, our landscape surveys of small founder-led companies, and the occasional unsigned opinion essay where the position belongs to the publication rather than to any single writer.

Editorial Team pieces are read for accuracy by at least two staff editors before publication. Where a listicle ranks named operators, every entry on the list has been independently confirmed against the founder's own public materials. We do not publish a ranking on the strength of one person's read.

If you have a correction for a piece under this byline, write to corrections at operatorpress.
