If it was me, I would not hire someone PT as the first employee (or first couple of employees). Why? You are trying to transition from founders to a team and that is hard. You are going to have to build processes, watch other people mess up your baby, and generally have to transition power away from yourself. The emotions behind that process shouldn't be ignored. In your case, the fact that you are already questioning this person's commitment is a big warning sign to me. Skip it and circle back later once you have a few people working there and see if you feel differently. Culture - If you are going to build a culture around working differently than the current norms it could make sense though. PT - I think long term as you build a structure and get to around 15 to 20 people PT is a great way to find amazing people.
