You’re likely starting out on your own, or as a Co-Founder in a team of two or three, but either way you’re embarking on some of the most exciting, scary, and unknown journey’s you’ve ever been on. Regardless of size of Founding team you’ll be working all hours, overstretched, and under-resourced and struggling to find time to dedicate yourself to everything you need to 🤯 .
’People’ probably hasn’t even crossed your mind. Why would it? You’re not having to hire yet, so no need for a hiring strategy. And why do we need values when it’s just me or some friends who know how we all work anyway? And why worry about how we communicate when we all fit in one room, and finish each others sentences. And what about culture? What’s the need when you know you’re all as driven as each other to not just survive but thrive in this startup world.
One day you’ll look back on this and say “Those were the days!”. Everything seems simple, smooth and simplistic.
What you need to focus on:
Why Now?
Don’t take it lightly either. You rush this and get it wrong and you’ll be in trouble down the line. Invest time and attention in it. It is one of the most important things you will do as a Founder, and it happens right at the start.
Always very happy to talk through how you can establish things like Purpose, Mission, Values etc. I can’t set them for you, but I can help you to understand what they should look like and how they differ.
