Scaling Ops: From 10 to 100 Employees Without Breaking in 2026
The jump from 10 to 100 employees is the "Death Zone" for many startups. Informal communication ("shout to the guy next door") stops working. Manual processes collapse. To scale, you must switch from synchronous communication (meetings/chats) to asynchronous processes (systems).
Signs the operation will break
- The CEO still approves every expense.
- New employee Onboarding is done "by chat," without standards.
- No one knows where the final version of the document is.
How Jestor paves the way for scale
This is where Jestor stands out by delivering the solution in practice:
- Automatic Thresholds: Get the CEO out of the way. Configure rules so managers approve smaller expenses.
- Digital Playbooks: The process is designed in the tool. The new hire follows the Jestor flow and gets it right from day 1.
- Knowledge Management: Everything is logged. If a key employee leaves, the history (and the process) stays with the company.
