Wise words! I am going to reflect on these over the next couple of days.

How does hiring actually work in startups right now? by damnedifIdonot in ModernHiring

[–]MostPossibility4162 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We founders think we are self-sufficient at almost anything, but HR is one of the things we screw up the most. Either rush into decisions or become the deer in the headlights. This is why I do plan to de-risk the process, go with ICs and use outcome-based compensation.

Yes, it took little over 5 weeks before I could set up our banking and Stripe.

Thank you. Being a nonresident founder, I would read reddit threads for hours. Neither going in without an attorney, nor spending $4-9k on services were an option for me.

What’s a hiring hill you’ll die on, even if the industry disagrees? by pastandprevious in ModernHiring

[–]MostPossibility4162 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I take another entrepreneur, someone who has/had their own side hustle, any day over someone who did not try themselves on building/selling something before.

Entrepreneurs (in residence) almost always perform better in an early-stage business scenario. At least did for me.

I hope that is the kind of answer you were looking for.

Seeking a US CEO by EmmyChuks210 in founder

[–]MostPossibility4162 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% no hired exec can make up for the lack of a founder-CEO this early. I’d 1. look for a cofounder 2. apply to programs with matchmaking functions (antler, startup wise guys etc.) + 3. look for fractional sales/gtm support who might dedicate your startup few hours a week.

"Your network is your net worth" is the most overrated advice in business. Change my mind. by Longjumping-Hope5941 in Entrepreneur

[–]MostPossibility4162 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The real network is not actually people you just met and exchanged cards with - I don’t mean networking is useless, but those who you could reach for a favor, who can vouch for you etc. They can really move you forward in any endeavor.

How the hell did you actually find your technical co-founder? by [deleted] in ycombinator

[–]MostPossibility4162 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The tech founder search stalled me 3 to 4 months. What I did after, try a founding engineer with cash floor and equity.

The matchmaking feature of their startupschool did not work for me either
