> And are debating who would make a better fit in startups as early employees. That seems like the wrong question. Shouldn't you be worrying about who would be the best fit in your company? Or better yet, who will help you succeed NOW? (And then there's "who can you actually get?" The people you want have options.) In other words, relevant specifics, not generics. I do a lot of work with early startups and if I'd invested in your company, we'd be meeting right now to figure out whether you're clueless (and what to do about it) or just wrote something that you didn't actually mean.
