Everyone in São Paulo, Mexico City, and Buenos Aires should be working 24/7 right now.

Jeff Bezos considers decisions like doors. He asks himself if the decision is a one-way door or a two-way door. The difference is that once you walked through a one-way door, you can't come back. It's irreversible. The one that requires time, thinking and processes. With a two-way door though, you can walk through and come right back to where you started. It's reversible.
Most of decisions at the early stage startups (GTM, product experimentations, even initial hires) are reversible. Any layer of complexity will slow down the pace and kill agility.
So unless the decisions is irreversible, make that call. You can always apologies and fix things later.
