It’s called “Oceans 11” — not “The Bellagio Heist”
Press play, and we soon realize that the most fascinating part of the film — is not the heist.
It’s the team behind it.
How will they solve the impossible problem? How will they adapt to the twists and turns? How will their unique skill sets come into play?
It’s got me thinking…
More important than the problem — is the team we assemble to solve it.
What do you think?
- What are your experiences with assembling a team?
- How did you find the right team members?
- How do you get them interested in joining the team?
Happy Indie Hacking,
Great tips 👍
Haha cliché — maybe — but very true.
Was it revenue share based? If so… How did you handle distributing the revenue?
We equally split up equity for that project. In more recent projects I've started, we set up a contract which mapped out a vesting schedule based on time and contributions so that if someone wasn't contributing, they could be kicked off the project. The contributions were milestone based like on getting # of sales, building out certain features, etc.
I think have clear expectations for everyone that are tied to earning equity or getting paid is crucial. By deciding things up front, when it comes time for a difficult conversation, it goes way easier.
Thank you so much for your time in answering 😊
This helps a lot!
Love the analogy with team work. I haven't much experience assembling a team startup wise but I had to recruit 75 staff for a previous employment and I mainly asked questions where I'd place candidates in a tough situation to see how they'd deal with adversity. I also asked them about their hobbies because, imo, it tells a lot about someone character and personality.
Thank you @Trafalgar !
I’ve been asking the following for the first round of questions:
I’ll include hobbies in the Zoom round of questions 😉
