Challenges

While our latest feature has brought in many new customers, this has also stressed our servers and led to unexpected downtime. We're currently working overtime to add capacity and address customer complaints.

What We Need from You:

We've reached max bandwidth due to our rapid growth — a great problem to have. So we need to start a search for a COO. Do you have anyone in your network that would be a good fit for our team?

As always, I’m open to any questions or feedback you have.

Best,

John Doe CEO
