Not over hiring, for sure. 😂
Lose your confidence. It happened to me. I raised a large seed round after a lot of struggle and hard work and basically doing everything myself. (I'm a full-stack hardware + software developer + sales + CEO)
The moment, I raised my large seed round, everyone started telling me I need to bring in corporate people who will teach me how to run the show.
As it is, imposter syndrome is such a big deal for me!!!
Basically, led to instant bloat and I ended up paying a lot of fancy people who in-turn hired more people.
Now, I am back to doing their work myself.
My next round, I know exactly whom I want to get and it's definitely not going to be a corporate leader.
@itzprobablyme Agreed +100, keeping a lean setup with people who have bias for action is critical.
That’s what I hate about a corporate job. Unnecessary red tapism hinders productivity and innovation.
You said it! Lean setup with people who have bias for action!
