Besides hiring, management and training of engineers, I've also helped them by creating the entire software architecture that could handle the high scalability issues that our product demanded. I've also played a major role along with the company's newly hired CTO on getting the first major VC investment and, some time later, the M&A process with brazilian ERP giant, Omie.
