Founder ModeStarterby Ari DesillasRoles and Functions

Four jobs, four Contexts, one founding team.

A default crew for a company small enough that one person owns product, operations, growth, and research on the same day. Contexts only, with no Workflows or Connections.

For founders and first hires covering several functions at once.

Contexts

4

Product Manager, Operations Lead, Growth Lead, Researcher

How it works

An early team's real constraint is attention. Four jobs run at once, each gets a fraction of a founder's week, and the one that slips is usually research, which is the job that decides whether the other three were pointed anywhere worth going.

Four Contexts hold a function each. Product Manager supports product scope and prioritization. Operations Lead supports workflow design and ownership clarity, so the process a team is about to outgrow gets named before it breaks. Growth Lead supports revenue hypotheses and conversion opportunities. Researcher turns scattered inputs into useful insight, which is where the customer calls and the half-read notes finally add up. The bundle is those four Contexts, with no Workflows, Guardrails, or Connections.

Each job gets a considered answer rather than the ten minutes left over at the end of a day. The customer evidence sits in one place instead of four inboxes.
