Anything can work.

If the employees are mediocre it takes the chance of success from 11% to 5%. Or something like that. The point being that it's unlikely to "do well" regardless.

More important is to figure out what you're learning. If you're on the steep part of the learning slope that's all that matters. If it's early stage and it starts to work a bit, you'll get more responsibility and you can be the one to let these people go.

But if you aren't learning or are just spending time with bozos, then it is a waste of your time.

Thanks. I want to learn but feel like I can only learn significant stuff from one founder, and not particularly from anyone else on the team.
