I began consulting for a few startups in the US and the UK as a de facto Chief of Staff. I now have some additional bandwidth and am looking to take on more consulting projects. I'm interested in learning how early-stage founders typically hire a Chief of Staff.

Is versatility a key factor in their decision-making, or do they prioritize domain expertise?

Additionally, do they tend to prefer candidates who can be in-person?
