POV: You're a Startup Founder Wearing 7 Different Hats!

AM

Arjun Mehta

Founder @ Shiftbase Labs (B2B SaaS for shift scheduling) | Ex-PM | Building in public

25 Oct 2026

POV: You're a Startup Founder Wearing 7 Different Hats!

Developer: “We need to fix this bug.”

Salesperson: “We need 10 new customers.”

Marketing: “We need to post on LinkedIn.”

Finance: “Who approved this expense?”

HR: “We need to hire someone.”

Founder: “Let's discuss this in a quick 5-minute meeting.”

Three hours later… 😂

And somewhere between fixing bugs, talking to customers, planning features, and checking the bank balance…

The founder is still wondering:

“When will I finally have time to work ON the business instead of IN the business?” ☕😭

Startup life is basically turning chaos into progress, one unexpected problem at a time.

But honestly, that's part of the fun — every challenge teaches you something you didn't know yesterday.

Fellow founders, which role takes up most of your time: sales, hiring, product, or putting out fires? 😂👇
