# Research: Founders

We study what a company of one, five or twenty people needs to run the business and to be ready to grow.

## What we ask

- What a founder does alone, and what is handed over first.
- Which tools a company takes on at each size.
- What breaks when the team doubles.

## What we do with it

Each finding is set against the product. Where SalexHub already answers it, the piece links to the use case that shows how. Where it does not, the piece says so.

## Research in this area

01 piece, newest first.
