Help! My team is growing, but our output isn’t!

Here’s the scenario: you’re a technical founder. You worked late hours to create an awesome product. You iterated, you experimented, you scrambled and finally you found a product that would sell.

AWESOME!!

You started to get some revenue and things are going great! The future’s so bright you gotta wear shades. Maybe you got investment at this point, maybe you just bootstrapped. Either way you’re bigger now and it’s not just you. You’ve got a team! Great more people to execute on the vision! But things are not as you’d hoped. You’ve added some developers, some quality engineers, a designer, and things have slowed to a crawl.

 

ARRRRG!


Here’s what happened:

You didn’t just add people—you added complexity. More communication channels, more handoffs, more variation in how people approach problems. And what used to be fast and intuitive is now tangled and frustrating. You’re not alone—this is a classic growing pain. The good news? It can be fixed.


You don’t need more hustle—you need better systems. Clear process. Healthy team dynamics. Predictable, high-quality delivery. That’s what I help technical leaders build.
