Importance of Recruiting for Founders
One important piece of advice for new founders is the significance of recruiting. Founders need to source and recruit talented individuals for their company's future success. It is crucial to get comfortable with using platforms like LinkedIn to search for potential hires, as no one else will recruit for certain roles on behalf of the founder. Additionally, being in control of your company's fate means taking charge of the recruitment process and bringing in skilled professionals.
