Founders think the cost of hiring a senior is the effort. It's actually the calendar:
~2 wks source + screen
~2 wks interviews + scheduling + decision
~4 wks offer + negotiation + notice period
- ramp on codebase/domain
= ~8 weeks before a line of useful code (optimistic)
For an early company that's 8 weeks of runway + momentum you don't get back while the market moves. A dedicated team closes it to days — not by skipping diligence, but by skipping the wait. Speed to capability = speed to market.
