- You, yes you

- You are an entrepreneur who is in a growth stage (maybe early growth) and you need ot hire people. There are certain areas you need to get ideas from other startups (remember – there is no ‘right strategy’), but you need to understand from others on mistakes to avoid and how to structure salaries etc.
Also, you could be somebody who wants to join a startup and needs to understand the ‘other side of the world’.
