Comment on How many hours are startup team members working on average?

Comments

Every waking minute and then some (slept 2 hrs per night several days this week). The trick is getting "high-impact" hours in. That's a scrappy basic solution that solves a time-consumic problem. The witty action that draws in a bunch of new users. The half-lucky-half-prepared encounter with the right person who can help with something. I try to find those "amplified" hours and celebrate on the inside every time I can get a normal week's worth of work in a day. It feels like you're cheating death.

The rest of the time I am fitting in the full-time days of 3 people in one 24 hour period. One is a student and two are tech and business founders of a startup that just took off with customers (trying to keep up the 10% growth daily while raising engagement rates).
