>>38310582Hiring mostly friends is a bad business decision.
Sooner or later they'll want to quit.
If you don't want to become a solo company you'll have to fill the vacant spot with someone else?
Who's it gonna be, another friend?
Is it a genuine friend or a clout chaser waiting for their opportunity?
What happens if someone fucks up?
Can you fire them without creating massive amounts of unnecessary drama?
If you run out of viable friends, will you be able to actually hire from the outside?
Hiring friends breeds complacency in the hiring process, you hire someone you already know and already like.
What the fuck are you going to do once it's not an option anymore and you need to hire someone from a pool of people you don't already know?
You have no ability/experience screening them because you literally didn't have a screening process more complex that building a 5th grader dodgeball team during P.E..
The first few picks are going to be a crapshoot.
With some luck you'll get tolerable members.
If things go bad, they'll quit soon after joining or will have to be let go, tarnishing your brand, your reputation, trust in your decisions and you'll end up with no further applicants because you have proven that your company is a dead end.
>tl;dr: Hiring friends to start a company = good idea, hiring friends to sustain a company = bad idea.
