Don’t hire an expert too early.
It was an expensive lesson that almost cost me $300,000.
After raising our pre-seed round (over $300,000), we felt unstoppable. Validated. Funded. Ready to “build properly.”
So we did what seemed logical.
We hired an experienced operator from a company that had raised over $30M.
On paper, she was perfect:
• Strong pedigree
• Structured
• Process-driven
• Operationally excellent
But we made one critical mistake.
We were still pre–product-market fit.
We were iterating weekly.
Sometimes daily.
Testing positioning.
Changing messaging.
Tweaking the product.
There was no stability.
And that’s where the friction started.
She needed structure to operate effectively.
Clear scope. Defined systems. Predictable workflow.
We had chaos.
She also came with rules: no work beyond 4 PM.
No work on weekends.
No after-hours email.
And to be clear, she wasn't wrong.
It just wasn’t compatible with our stage.
At that time, it was just my co-founders and me.
She was our first hire.
We were constantly experimenting, trying to reach product-market fit.
Despite having cash in the bank, we were still searching.
Speed mattered more than structure.
Eventually, we parted ways.
No villains. Just a stage mismatch.
Here’s what I learned:
Early stage (pre-PMF) → Hire generalists.
Post-PMF → Hire specialists.
Scaling → Hire experts.
Generalists thrive in ambiguity.
They can switch hats mid-day.
They optimize for momentum, not perfection.
Experts optimize for efficiency and structure, but structure only works when something is already working.
Many founders burn through their runway trying to install enterprise-grade processes in a startup that hasn’t found traction.
Don’t hire for pedigree.
Hire for stage-fit.
The right talent at the wrong time can still be a wrong hire.
Founders: what’s a hiring mistake that taught you something expensive?

@p2einferno Is that even a question? You know damn well it’s on Ethereum… I don’t know, maybe I was seduced with the word #Ethereum or #Bitcoin was just too out of reach. But I took a dive in it, and I’ve #loved it ever since 🤣

@owocki You are one of kind ser! Always have been, and one of the reasons I found the right path on Ethereum, the industry in general, and didn’t end up as a grifter. I wish I can shake your hands and tell you that in person someday 🙏🏽
