Responsibilities and time allocation of CEO @ Arincare
"What's your day like?" "What do you do everyday?" "What's your job exactly, as startup CEO?" - These are questions I was frequently asked this year by both our new hires, startup founders I had the privilege to mentor through various programs, and during interviews.
If I was asked this question a couple years ago, my answer would definitely be "everything" - same as any early stage startup CEO. But as of 2021, our team at Arincare almost doubled in size, now serving 2,500+ users, and growing 3X revenue, to get there my job has changed a lot. So I think it's good to stop and give it some thoughts about my role and responsibilities as CEO and how it has evolved over the year - all in a deck. Hope it can benefit a larger audience, or at least I can use it to give a clearer answer to our new hires. :)
