I have a CRM/business intelligence product that targets a very specific niche of an industry. I'm the only employee, although I am currently looking to expand by hiring a sales person and a support person.
Here's a startup idea I want, by the way. If this exists somebody please tell me:
I'm good at creating products. I'm a good programmer, I can do design well, I understand marketing well, I can sell things, etc. However, the things I am TERRIBLE at are basically anything involving paperwork. I hate these tasks, and I am terrible at them. I want a company that I can hire that will take care of all of my backoffice/HR tasks. So:
-An accountant.
-A lawyer.
-An HR person who can deal with compliance around hiring and firing staff.
Many of the aspects of software businesses can be looked at services, and fit well into an engineering mindset. Hosting is from digital ocean, costs $f00, and gets mentally compartmentalized. I don't care very much about how DA deals with routing, provisioning their own resources, etc. I tell them in abstract terms the things I want, and they provide them in a package for me to consume. Twilio does similar things for me for telephony. Coworking spaces do this for physical offices.
I want more of that for more traditional parts of business. Essentially I want to hire a controller in the cloud (or at least the way that controllers have been used at various companies I have worked at in the past). IF this exists, please reply with the name of the company! Maybe this means this is something I should start myself.
