I was very lucky to join when there was only a handful of people in a really small workspace. We had quite a blast doing everything ourselves, from our respective trade skills (design,dev, etc) to learning to handle shipping, do customer service or even redesign space for inventory, etc...
In the end, I left a very different and significantly bigger F&O than the one I joined, I have learned so much in so little time and would recommend joining that kind of startup just for that. For that everything-else-you-wouldn't-think-of that you learn by just making stuff happen.
Thanks Alice :)
