A TIA reader sent in this question:

โ€œWhatโ€™s more important when you are looking for employees in responsible positions (other than the co-founders) for a startup? Age? Experience? Loyalty? Passion?โ€

While startups are usually not yet capable of hiring large teams, selecting the right people is always crucial, as theyโ€™re the ones who can make or break the companyโ€™s growth.

So, what are the traits or qualifications that startups should focus on to make sure theyโ€™re building the right team?
