Mature businesses show there maturity through consistency.  In other words they are reliable.   It’s odd to receive calls from suppliers on behalf of well known organizations that cannot keep an appointment.  What does this say about your company?  It’s not appealing.  People’s time is valuable.  You should keep the appointment although you may not be interested because it’s your word, you’ll learn more, and establish trust.

Do we have to give employees the same benefits as the founders?

Question: We’re a California startup with a few founders working full-time right now. We are planning on expanding.

The best way is to tap into your network of friends and colleagues.  It’s always better to start with someone you know well and have worked with in the past.  That said, all too often you know people with similar backgrounds and skill sets to your own.  So how do you find a co-founder with a complimentary skill set?
