Questions

When should a founder get a virtual assistant?

When admin regularly pushes customer, product or hiring work into evenings, usually earlier than founders think.

Virtual assistant or executive assistant for a founder?

A VA covers admin and scheduling; a virtual executive assistant adds more judgement, prioritisation and stakeholder handling.

Can a VA handle confidential startup information?

Yes, with an NDA, least-privilege access and a managed service that vets its assistants.
