They were referred to me by a friend. I was looking for someone to help me with the daily operations so I'd say they were more like a personal assistant. They were really useful as we continued to grow as they ended up training most of the other employees.

@cody_rawles I totally see the importance of the personal assistant kind of role at the beginning to establish a relationship, so that the other person gets to understand the way you work and company's values through you.

Great question. We decided to hire the first employee after acquiring the first customer. The sequence we've followed, at least so far: idea -> customer -> product -> revenue -> hiring
