The Team, The Team, The Team
Like in real estate (location, location, location), properly building an early stage company depends on three things: The team, the team, and the team. They say it is better to hire generalists, who will program during the day and be willing to take out the trash or wash the coffee cups at night. But rent experience. That's the main reason behind Venture Velocity; we've all "been there and done that." We've respectively made every mistake in the book, which means we know how not to make them again. With Venture Velocity's members you can quickly fill the voids in you management team until you can afford to hire a full time position. Every company needs a CFO, but do you need one full-time when you are just starting to build your company? Probably not.
For more mature companies you might need someone to provide a necessary service while you look for a full-time replacement. All Venture Velocity members have served as Vice Presidents or Officers in mature organizations.
