- viraptor 7y agoTranslations, international money handling, local market research / contacts, SEO, marketing/ads/visibility, ... I don't think any of those teams will be huge, but I expect it adds up. Just those listed ones are probably 20+ people, so add some management layer as well.
- umeshunni 7y agoEverything you said + content moderation, dealing with policy/harassment etc. Anytime you’re allowing end users to create content on your platform or use your service to interact with other people, you have to deal with all the policy and icky people stuff.
- viraptor 7y agoJust remembered, once you have income and presence in multiple countries you also need an accounting/legal team which can deal with that.
