Staffing Plan for a Widget Startup Company

By Steve Poland   •   April 21, 2009

I’m interested in what a staffing plan typically looks like for a widget startup company, like: MyBlogLog, Lijit, IntenseDebate, Disqus, etc.

What’s needed initially til launch? After launch, at what # of installs do you need: community manager; relationship manager (someone proactively engaging Publishers to install the widget), etc?

Anyone have any info on this? Any links to some public staffing plans? [I'd love to see what MyBlogLog had planned for, then what it really looked like]
