15. Take the guys in the startup to strip clubs. Get them laid.

Getting your team laid AT a strip club does not sound like a good way to save money. Even without the, uh, soliciting of prostitution, I shudder to think of the strip clubs where one goes to "save money."

9. Make your team friendly. If there is a socially akward or shy guy who does not relate with the other members of the team, fire him

The startups I've worked at always had quite a few shy, socially awkward types (I've worked mostly at tech startups). We usually just invited these folks out to lunch and social gatherings and made them feel a part of the team. Perhaps we weren't being very economical...



Shy and socially awkward in the "real world", fine. Shy and socially awkward in a crowd of hardcore geeks is cause for concern IMHO.
