Back-office ops are any and all processes and activities that are NOT focused on product or customers but critical to your startup's existence.
Still confused?
Here are a few examples:
Startups drive change in this world.
Back office functions aren’t sexy or exciting, but they are crucial to avoid ticking time bombs that blow up later during a fundraise, or when you get scary notices from regulators, or just avoiding chaos when you begin scaling.
