New book and app help determine when and who to hire

The book from Index Ventures is titled Scaling Through Chaos and also includes an app called TeamPlan.

There’s a new book titled Scaling Through Chaos that was released last week by Index Ventures and also includes an app called TeamPlan that founders can use to find guidance on everything from how to scale an engineering team to when to hire a Chief Financial Officer.

As described by the venture firm in a synopsis about the book, “You start a business because you’re obsessed with solving a problem. But as you scale, you’ll discover that 50 percent of your time is taken up with people – hiring, retaining, organizing, and inspiring your team. Packed with deeply researched recommendations and first-hand accounts from the world’s best entrepreneurs, Scaling Through Chaos is the canonical guide to how to build, structure, and run a high-performing team. We’ve distilled 200,000 career profiles from more than 200 start-ups, enriched with insights, frameworks, and case studies from 60 top founders and operators, to provide you with stage-by-stage guidance on how to make the right decisions across every part of your business.”

Index Ventures even makes it easy to read the book, offering an online option.
