- eugenejen 18y agoWell, then the technical co-founder will spend tons of time doing things such as setting up emails, scanning viruses, looking for intruders to servers, setting up quickbooks. Then you lose man-hours that should be dedicated to your main product/services. I know this because I have been working for 6 startups for 10 years. This is a very common pattern that leads to failure.
- thwarted 18y agoThat's true, but I interpreted the word "trust" in terms of capability, not availability.
