An overlooked reason start-ups struggle to hire? They assume they can play in the same sandbox as companies a bit further along the growth curve. They want to hire those with "proven early-stage" pedigrees, but they lack the brand reputation, historical data, or clear indications of long-term impact on their customers. This might make sense for founders with prior successes or top-tier investors, but this often places too much focus on past accolades versus current state. Remember, the new company is JUST getting started. So, what’s the alternative? Be willing to recruit talent with narratives to date built in unknown companies - who may be more hungry, ambitious, and eager to prove themselves than you could possibly imagine. Move past the notion that you need talent who’ve already seen your next stage of scaling, and you may better set to find folks who can actually get you there. #startups #hiring

I've had lots of discussions with early-stage businesses about hiring since the turn of the year. There's a certain person who's more suited to this kind of business as opposed to a more established one. And I'm not saying one's better than the other, they're just different. But understanding the differences and being able to talk about them in real terms is useful for hiring. What's missing from this list of observations about startups? > The autonomy can be either thrilling or terrifying, depends who you ask. > The absence of “this isn’t in my PD” is new to people who’ve never experienced this type of business before. > All startups are an experiment to see whether the company deserves to exist or not - this excites and horrifies the right and wrong people.  > The lack of legacy process, policy and “this is how we’ve always done it” is music to some ears and plain old gobbledygook to others. > There’s no time for values misalignment when you’re trying to move quickly and ship things. > Finding the right blend of hiring speed and accuracy is an ever-moving nirvana. #hiring #startup #talent #interview

Entrepreneur lessons from a venture capitalist - I read a great article on product market fit. A must read for every entrepreneur What if you don't have Product/Market Fit? Encourage founders to continue to talk to customers, care about their customers, learn about their problems, and solve them effectively Most founders seek ineffective shortcuts to achieve Product/Market Fit (PMF) i.e. hiring a ton of engineers, bringing on senior executives, running after key partnerships, etc. These shortcuts never work. If you don't have Product/Market Fit, keep your burn low, and keep iterating fast with a lean team. You may get pressure to spend from your VCs (this usually happens), push back hard If you haven't reached Product/Market Fit, avoid growing your team above 10 people. Post-raising a seed round, most founders are tempted to grow the team. Smaller teams can adapt/iterate much quicker

There’s a lot of discussion about hiring advice for startups 🚀 these days. One of the things that triggered this is the comments Keith Rabois shared about hiring talent that is not over 30 years old and that he learned from Peter Thiel. The reasoning behind it he explains that by the time you are 30, the market already capped your worth and startups cannot afford those people. I personally believe it’s not about ages at all. I wanted to share the two pieces of advice I share with early-stage founders about hiring talent: 👨🎤Hire diverse talent and build diverse teams from day 1 💜Focus on Heartcounts, not Headcounts. Why? Watch this my video and let me know what you think? #Hiring #Startups #Founders #EarlyStage #Diversity #Talent #VentureCapital

The biggest mistake startups make when hiring: not making it their #1 priority. As an early stage company, your team is everything. They’re the people that propel you forward, make or break your next round of funding, and help shape the vision of the org. Investing time and effort into the interview process might seem like a drag when you’re a lean team with endless responsibilities, but it’s SO crucial for success. If you’re serious about hiring, you've got to go all in. Half-hearted efforts only hold your team back and jeopardize future growth. #hiring #hiringtips #startuplife #techstartups
