and launch of CrossGen Founders
CrossGen Founders is of interest to me. I run my company myself and contract out to a number of different people for various things. But in terms of the direct management of the company, there’s just me. My biggest concern is business continuity – this means keeping the business running under all circumstances and in particular, the concern areas boil down to:
- Something happens to me whereby I am unable to perform my business tasks but only in this situation for a limited time (say a few weeks to possibly a month or two).
- Something happens to me whereby I cannot perform my business tasks at all on an on-going basis.
Those scenarios create issues for my customers and the ‘stress’ that it would cause them varies depending on what I am doing for the particular customer. Of course, I have mitigation plans but I think that it would be helpful if there were ‘redundancy’ in the business i.e. someone who could take over everything I do without any hiccup whatsoever. Another advantage of having a partner is that I think we could grow this business a lot faster. My biggest constraint is time! I can outsource but that only goes so far.
I look forward to finding a suitable co-founder on CrossGen Founders, when it launches in 2022.
