The thing that kills startups at some level, is the founders giving up.

Before 20 or 25 employees, most companies are structured with everyone reporting to the founder. It's totally flat.

Later, you should learn to hire fast and scale up the company, but in the early days the goal should be not to hire. Not to hire.

Remember that the idea will expand, and become more ambitious as you go.

The natural state of a start-up is to die; most start-ups require multiple miracles in their early days to escape this fate.
