Which jobs can a founder do alone instead of hiring early?
Quick answer
A founder can usually handle product and rules, website setup with templates, account provisioning, first-line support, social media and community, partner outreach and basic bookkeeping. Get professional help early for legal documents and, as soon as volume allows, for support coverage and payout reviews.
Detailed answer
Doing more yourself saves money, but some jobs are risky to skip.
Jobs a founder can do
- Rules and pricing: with research and modelling.
- Website: using a template builder.
- Accounts: bulk-creating and assigning them in the admin panel.
- Support: answering emails with saved replies.
- Community: running a Discord or Telegram group.
- Partnerships: approaching affiliates and creators.
- Bookkeeping: with simple accounting software, reviewed by an accountant at year end.
Jobs to outsource early
- Legal review of terms and payout policy.
- Tax advice on structure.
Jobs to hire for as volume grows
- Support across time zones.
- Risk and payout review.
Tools that reduce the workload
- Automatic rule enforcement, so you never watch accounts by hand.
- A dashboard inside each trader's terminal, so traders answer their own "how close am I?" questions.
- Bulk provisioning, so delivering accounts takes minutes.
