After I got a super-experienced Executive from a multi-national to Head our operations: He engaged a website company to rebuild the website. He engaged another company to redesign logo. He made the whole company use Notion. He gave everyone a 25% raise. He arranged trainings for the team to use mental models. He encouraged all employees to listen to motivational podcasts. He hired an experienced HR. He added carroms and TT in our dining room And guess what? We made quite some expenses on this but didn't make any revenues. If you are a startup and hiring experienced people, hire people who are 1. Hands-on 2. Talks only results #runningstartups #techstartups #startups #founders #entrepreneurs

Many companies in the early startup and growth stages view having a full-time staff as a North Star of sorts for their growth. To be sure, there's nothing distinctly wrong with bringing on a forty-hour-per-week staff. But it's far from mandatory. Every single business is different; they have different goals, different core values, and different ultimate visions for the future. Don't take the idea of hiring external experts for granted. For many organizations, it's not just a stopgap--it's an ideal situation. Want to hear our thoughts and input on effectively hiring and working with subcontractors?

Successful startups usually reach a point where infrastructure, human resources and systems cannot keep up with the growth of the business.  Without the right pieces on the board, growth companies encounter execution issues, raising both commercial and other risks.   Executing hiring plans, etc. must be prioritized. In a recent Acquired podcast, Howard Schultz commented about Starbuck’s early growth: “We were so in the mud, … we didn’t have time to look up… we were just running so fast, so hard. When you’re growing at this pace, it’s almost virtually impossible to catch the growth in terms of the infrastructure.” -Gilbert, B. & Rosenthal, D., Acquired (Starbucks Episode with Guess Host, Howard Schultz) (June 4, 2024). What types of growth-related challenges has your company faced and overcome? Would love to hear about it.  In upcoming editions of The Savvy Startup Advisor, we will be exploring ways in which startups can overcome their growth challenges.  If you have any comments or stories that you’d like to share with our audience, please reach out to us at [email protected].

This quote from Joe Lonsdale (#venturecapitalist and Addepar founder) during an interview on the My First Million podcast is a great encapsulation of hiring for an early stage startup vs a later stage or more established company... "When we talk about lessons from Peter Thiel, I think one of the most important ones I've seen from him, that I've definitely taken to heart and what I've done, is I'd much rather hire for talent and ambition and hard work than hire for expertise. There are exceptions. If you have a company that's already really working and already really scaling and there's a machine that has to be run, you want to hire the guy who knows how to run the machine. That's the operator who knows what they're doing already. But before you've actually built the machine... you want to hire for raw IQ and hard work and just iterating and figuring it out. That's a different skill set than the people who run the machines." #hiring #startup #startups
