Which Startup-Company Role Suits You Best?

You're the driving force behind your startup business! Without you, there would be no startup, because you're the visionary who came up with the idea in the first place. You wouldn't get very far without a stellar team to back you up, but you know how to build a strong team and motivate that team to reach extraordinary new heights.

Without you, there wouldn't be anything to sell! You might be a more behind-the-scenes person when it comes to running a company, but you're the one who actually gets down to the business of designing the product that your startup will sell. Without great minds like you to back them up, all those startup visionaries wouldn't get anywhere at all!

You're the one who gets it done. You're not the leader in this startup, but without hardworking people like you, there would be no such thing as business in the first place! You're not afraid to get your hands dirty, and you'd rather accomplish tangible tasks than daydream about possibilities and probabilities all day, every day. You're the actualizer--the one who brings the product to life!

A great leader is nothing without a great organizer. Visionary leaders are often great at motivating a team and, of course, envisioning the future of a business. But they usually need someone like you--focused, organized, diligent--to actually manage the team and make sure everything goes according to plan. You're the organizer--the right-hand man and true driving force in any startup.

The customer comes first--at least in your mind! While the visionaries and the brainiacs are busy putting together theories and strategies, you're looking at the reality of startup business: the customers who will actually use the product you're developing. You're the one who makes sure the customers' voices are heard and their needs met, which is ultimately what makes a startup successful.

What's a startup without funding? Nothing. That's where you come in! You have the skills and know-how to create a windfall for your startup, through funding and through practical planning. You're in charge of the burn rate and making sure your ambitious-but-impractical team doesn't spend every last dollar on pizza before the business has a chance to establish itself. Without rainmakers like you, even the most brilliant startups would never survive their first quarter.
