We felt this coming out of 500 Startups B12. We were a team of four, we had limited analytics in place, we were ranking horribly for SEO, accounting was a mess, and we were doing a ton of things that didn't scale which we needed to now scale. Post demo day we had to worry about fundraising, then recruiting, hiring, and now training--and in some cases firing, and starting all over again. If we get this iteration wrong we're doomed to fail. Basically we needed to add a whole new level to our pyramid and we need to find people we can delegate tasks to do that the process scales and so everything has come to a grinding halt for a few months. If you raise more money quickly it may be possible to attract more & better talent at the top of the funnel and run this process more quickly but it's been a massive growing pain for us.
