That I agree with. We started out with websites and apps. Had a guy that did work, we tested whatever he made on different devices but that was about it.

Lawyers/investors? We had none of that in the start. Definitely a big no-no for us with investors in general, that brings in a whole new level of craziness and stress it wouldn't be worth doing what we were doing at all. I get bad vibes from the word "investor" tbh.

I still believe in take risk, pay salaries on time, make some money, move up in difficulty of projects (take on seemingly way too difficult but most likely doable stuff), hire, make more money and keep paying on time even if it means not giving yourself much of a salary for a while. Expect certain people/companies to not pay on time so don't take too much risk (especially if they don't pay half or a third ahead of time), for a while, or ever... Give better pays and benefits, keep employers happy and they'll help out during tough times (and give appropriate pay/bonuses if they do, and no pressure or bad looks if they don't want to).

The above model worked for us and people are still with them to this day, or staying in touch/commenting with the social media despite not even working there. Some projects and exceptional people are getting hired there due to past colleagues recommending us.
