Founders

Re: "why don't you hire someone to do X" comments for Bountycaster, in my opinion:

- being resource constrained with 2 people forces us to work on the highest priority items. Easy to fall into having people work on random stuff just because you can

- hiring more people creates more work too (recruiting, managing, etc)

- we're bootstrapped, hiring people requires more funding. This is also more work and changes dynamics (fundraising, managing investors, etc)

- we want our team size / burn to be in line with the market opportunity right now and we don't feel it's justified yet to hire more

- one of the highest ROI things a founder can be doing early on is being constantly in touch with users, not something I want to be delegating away at our stage

Co-founder @bountycaster (bountycaster.xyz). Co-producer @ethereumfilm. Previously co-founder of Scalar Capital and product at Coinbase

We have a gift shop, and it is very important point you mentioned at the end "one of the highest ROI things a founder can be doing early on is being constantly in touch with users(costumers in our case), not something I want to be delegating away at our stage"
and for the time being we are not considering hiring any employee
