... how much time you should be spending on hiring? The answer is 0 or 25 percent.
You're either not hiring at all or it's probably your single biggest block of time.
The track record for founders that don't already know each other is really bad.
As the company grows and about this 25 or so employee size, your main job shifts from building a great product to building a great company.
People that are really smart and that can learn new things can almost always find a role in the company as time goes on.
Because so few people make an actual long term commitment to what they're building, the ones that do have a huge advantage.
