Q2. What are your goals for the next 6-12 months for the business?
Q3. What challenges are currently holding you up, slowing you down or keeping you up at night?
Q4. What were the biggest hurdles you faced when you scaled beyond the co-founder team to 8-10 people, and from there to bigger numbers of staff, that other startups could learn from?
