"Once money is no longer your biggest problem, hiring is."

Very true. After moving to the investment side a little while ago, I've seen firsthand that when founders are not stressed out about fundraising, they're stressed out about hiring. If I was to categorize requests that our portfolio companies have made of us, the breakdown would be something like:

* 50% help with hiring

* 20% introduction requests

* 15% requests for product feedback

* 15% miscellaneous (technical reviews, sitting down and discussing long-term strategy, etc.)
