Would you rather handle a failed launch or a failed hire? That's the question we recently discussed with Eric Chang, CEO at Claira.

Eric chooses the failed launch.

Why? A launch is like a missed shot on goal. You study the replay, adjust the formation, and take another shot. In an early-stage AI company, experimentation is part of the game.

A failed hire can be more like losing your goalkeeper in the first ten minutes. On a small team, every person shapes culture, morale, and momentum.

CEOs thinking about writing a book face a similar choice. A weak chapter can be rewritten. The wrong collaborator can turn the whole project into extra time with no snacks.
