Run the company like a founder

You're doing every job at once. Here's the kit for making the big calls, nailing the pitch, picking your tools, and building your first team — without dropping any of them.

By RECT · 5 examples

As a founder you make a dozen decisions before lunch — which market to chase, which investor to email back, which of two tools to standardize on, who to hire first. Most of them live nowhere: a Slack thread, a note on your phone, a gut call you'll only half-remember in three months when someone asks "wait, why did we do it this way?" The problem isn't that you're not working hard enough — it's that the thinking is scattered across ten apps and none of it compounds. This kit pulls the founder's core jobs into one place: make the call and keep the receipts, sharpen the pitch, choose your stack, and get your first hires up to speed. Less "I'll remember," more "here's exactly why we did it."
