One of the challenges that founders and investors have whilst scaling is the battle between hiring experienced strategic thinkers that don't mind rolling their sleeves up and avoiding high salaries that risk burning quickly through your cash.
Scenario one
When you're at an early stage, you decide to hire someone who is willing and able to learn, they’ll have some relevant experience but mostly it will be someone that can go up through the ranks over time, keeping operational costs down - but can require more of your input as a founder
Scenario two
Having secured funding from investors they are lucky enough to be able to hire experts with 20+ years of experience and take them on as permanent staff. If they are very lucky they will find someone who is happy to get stuck in, but often those senior people want to hire a team because that’s what they’re used to. The result is that operational costs are significantly higher, but you are spread less thin.
Zaidaan aims to find the middle ground between these two scenarios by providing access to experts with deep, extensive expertise and know-how, but with a project-based model to give founders flexibility to control costs.
