A good COO is critical to early stage business success. They pick up all the other leadership bits the founder/CEO does not have time for.
If you canโt afford the salaries above then offering equity in the form of EMI options will help attract the right talent to take your startup forward.
Quantico takeaway
โA COO with the right attitude and chemistry with the leadership team will build strong foundations for future growth, so look at the salary as an investment.๐
Setting up key processes and automations early on will ensure your business is ready for growth and the perfect COO is a key part of this.
