I started my company with 5 friends – one developer, one user interface designer, one visual designer, one marketing person, and a finance person. I was the most experienced developer at that time, and after we had built the first version of Wunderlist I quickly focused primarily on the business side. A marketing/sales machine.

So one of the first things we did was to hire an Oracle expert and get to work. You dont need to invent a new architecture, and you dont need to even build your architecture up-front. I was building a new startup in 1999, and wanted to do it right. I had heard that all great companies built their applications on Oracle.

I know them right away - we can talk high-level architecture all the way down to the bits-and-bytes of his system. When the architecture needs modifying - why do we need a meeting? And we cant hire new engineers any faster, because you cant be interviewing and debugging and fixing all at the same time! Just change it.

Inevitably, the excuses begin: I need to hire people to build the product. In later posts I’m going to get into more detail on specific topics like hiring, raising money, what types of ideas have the potential to get big, finding your founders, and the like.
