How to structure a compliance team at a seed-stage startup?

How to structure a compliance team at a seed-stage startup?

I’m researching this for a project and would love real-world input. If you’ve built or shipped something here, what did you learn? Context: I’m Melissa Parker and I’m evaluating options for our team.

    Ignore shiny features until you validate ROI. Negotiate support SLAs; they beat shiny features in crunch time. Counterpoint based on what stuck in reality.

    Add synthetic transactions to catch silent failures. Biggest risk is invisible complexity creeping in. Keep the system operable by the smallest competent team.

    Train support to recognize false positives quickly. Run a pre-mortem; it surfaces surprises early. Quick checklist that saved us time.

    Document assumptions so new teammates move faster. We cut manual review time by ~30% just by clarifying thresholds. Quick lesson from a compliance-heavy integration.

    Design the rollout so rollback takes minutes, not hours. Counterpoint based on what stuck in reality. Ignore shiny features until you validate ROI.
