Early Hiring Advisor

For founders stuck on "who should I hire first" questions, this walks you through Hexa's hiring methodology with actual numbers and frameworks. You get readiness checks, role prioritization scoring, hire versus outsource rules, and seed stage comp ranges (like $100K-150K plus 0.5-2% equity for engineers). The opinionated part is useful: it tells you to wait if you lack PMF signal or 18 months runway, always hire for core eng and sales but outsource legal and PR, and lean on your network for the first three to five hires. Basically a structured second opinion before you post that job listing too early.
