There were many other smart programmers we hired, fired\/quit. They did help us grow forward, but these two guys were there with us for around 2 years now.<\/p>\n

Couple of things I’ve learnt from them.<\/p>\n

1. Hire people who are ready to learn and work. It doesn’t matter if they are freshers and not from IIT\/NIT.<\/p>\n

2. Once point 1 is taken care, you will be shocked that they surprise you with their work regularly. After a point you start getting used to the surprises and just start trusting them.<\/p>\n

3. It takes at least 2 years to make a big impact in a startup. If you want build the startup and grow along with the startup, make sure you spend at least 2 years.<\/p>\n

4. Weird that we have titles like CEO, CFO, CTO and Founders\/Co-Founders, but these real “builders” don’t have a proper title. The title should clearly mention that these guys are more powerful than the founders.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
