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

It seems so obvious but I’ve noticed people who don’t spend time learning to design/ code / write copy/ make videos and are simply planning in google docs all day tend to favor delegating.

I have yet to find a successful 0-1 founder who’s a planner.
