Conv with top seed investor today "One of the things I am overindexing for right now is 'can this founder build and scale a team outside of the bay area or NY?'" Becoming more important every day.

At $10m in ARR, ideally
- spend 20%-40% of your time recruiting
- meet with top customers + prospects
- backfill your team's weaknesses
- work on strategy and goals
don't do too many other things
