Comparing this with his original post[1] is a fantastic illustration of how the business aspect of a growing startup isn't necessarily an issue of scale, but of the role itself. In the earlier stages, his job was to do whatever didn't involve firing up a terminal. Write some copy, take a phone call, etc etc whatever it took to keep the developer's happy and focused. Now managing something like payroll, contracts. and the rest is a whole new ballgame. Its great to learn from his ability to adapt.

Thank you, Spencer. You're an inspiration to aspiring tech Entrepreneurs out there too stupid to program ;)

The article link is wrong. The problem of sticking "Advanced" on the end of a URL. :)

Can a mod edit it, please?

Thanks for writing this Spencer. I asked about "What does a biz person do at a startup" at the YC meetup; and your earlier article was brought up. Awesome sequel!
