IME, rough order to make hires in: VPM: $0.2m ARR VPCS: $2m ARR VPP: $3m-$4m ARR VPE: $5m-$6m ARR CFO: $10m ARR COO: $20m ARR. He asked which to hire first. If you have a few nickels in the bank, and you somehow find a great VP a half stage or even full stage early, just hire her. Hiring is so hard as it is.

You have to hire so many functions in SaaS – VPS, VPM, VPP, VPCS, VPE, etc. You will have a Year From Hell here. Everyone is.
