What is the founders most important role for the Startup?
If, an idea is the reason to start, setting up a great team is fundamentally the most important role of a Founder.
I have hired numerous people in the last 8 years. Some stay really long while some leave rather quickly. One thing sure works: spend quality time with each new hire as if it was just you & him/her making a startup possible. If this phase goes well, you are counting on a great team member.
This is true irrespective of their role in the company. Fairly practical during the early stages of the startup. And it sure works.
