    5 questions about your product

    1 What is the name of your product? 2 When did you start developing it? 3 How many people were on the team at the very beginning? 4 How many people are on the team currently? 5 What factors are responsible for the changes in the team size? If the number of people hasn't changed, it's also interesting to know why.

I am a big fan of the idea that the fewer people and the more revenue a company has per 1 person, the cooler the product and more efficient it is to scale!

    @thomas_hansen5 thanks! What is required here is a clarification of what a "team" is. In the case of FlowMapp, 7 people are the whole "company" :) If we talk about full-stack independent product team I prefer this combination: — Frontend (2) — Backend (1) — Product design (1) — Analyst (1) — Product Marketing (strategy, content, social) (3)

    @elenat Good question!!! My attitude towards outsourcing has changed over time. Now my decision is influenced most of all by remote trends - it has become possible to hire cool people for project activities, to get strong expertise for part of the work, and so on. I like it very much, it is very convenient and fast.

    1) aiforme.wiki 2) 2023 3) 2 4) 2 🤣 5) For us, the team size remained unchanged. We started as a dynamic duo of 2 and have stuck to it. This setup has proven to be the most effective for us, fostering seamless collaboration and focused outcomes. How about you?

    @akanksha_hunts That's great! Let's see what happens in 2024! I launched Relolib alone in 2022, and after that my cor team expanded to 6 people, and shrunk to 2. We do a non-profit service, so people come to us as volunteers.
