It feels more like a holiday than work to be honest!
I did a lot of research. And I spoke to a lot of different firms, or agencies and I found Altar.io and it looked like exactly what I needed. I've been here going over the business model going over the product, completely from scratch out has been able to add a lot of value just from the experience of not just working with lots of different startups, but having sort of run startups themselves. It feels more like a holiday than work to be honest, in terms of being able to scale and build a team. Altar.io makes me feel like I have someone where I can have one person, or when I need it for people quite quickly.
