There's not a formal line you cross where you say, "OK, now I need advisors". Talk to experienced people, get advice, and make the people that give you good advice your informal advisors. It's easier if you let it be a natural process, ra

I agree that data-driven decisions are less common than they should be. However, there is such a thing as over-dependence on data, and this piece might be toying with the line. You don't have enough resources to test every little thing -

This already exists - you can accomplish this with a plus sign in your address. If your address is bill@gates.com, then bill+anything@gates.com will be routed to you (the plus sign is critical). So you can use bill+work@gates.com, bill+fou
