Hiring Your First Employees

A lot of the times your first employees are the most viable and if you show them loyalty, they’ll show you loyalty back. The last thing is hire slow. My second company, SocialCam, had three founders when we sold. We had three founders no employees.

We didn’t necessarily want it to be that way but we were able to grow a product to over 220 million downloads with three people. So don’t tell me that you can’t do a lot with just a founding team, you can do a whole lot of things. Instagram sold for a billion and they were under 20. So hire slow, you can do it!
