A startup’s success depends less on the idea and more on the team behind it. Early teams often lack role clarity, HR structure, or alignment — leading to confusion and burnout.

• Define clear roles, responsibilities, and accountability.
• Hire for cultural fit and adaptability, not just skill.
• Document HR policies early — even for a 10-member team. 

    Pro Tip: Building a strong HR foundation early saves time, reduces turnover, and boosts team trust — all at minimal cost.
