Founder workload planner: who does what, and where it breaks
Assign sixteen areas of work to your founders. The planner shows each founder’s load, flags overload and areas nobody owns, and suggests what to outsource or hire for first.
What does a startup have to cover?
Product, engineering, design, sales, marketing, support, fundraising, finance, legal, hiring, operations, partnerships, data, security, community and strategy. In a two-founder company each founder owns eight of them, whether they planned to or not.
How do founders split roles?
By strength first, then by what the company needs this quarter. The CEO usually owns sales, fundraising and hiring; the CTO owns product, engineering and security. Write the split down and revisit it after each hire.
What investors ask about the team
Who does what, what is missing and how you decided. An honest gap with a hiring plan is a stronger answer than a founder who claims to do everything.
When to hire or outsource
When one founder carries more than roughly 40 percent of the work, or an area has no owner for a quarter. Finance, legal and design are the usual first outsources.
