Great question. I really struggled with that decision. For me it was really whether to raise a seed round or not. I went back and forth about what kind of business I wanted to run.

I finally made the decision to raise the seed round and grow a team because I felt that I would learn the most. I optimized for my own learning and growth.

Are you facing a similar decision? It's a steep and long learning curve to actually lead a team, but now it's the part of my job that I love the most.
