Hiring a Team for your Technical Startup with Natalie Ledbetter

This week, I talked to Natalie Ledbetter, Head of People and Platform at Boldstart Ventures. We talked about how startups can approach team and culture building, including:

  • How to prioritize your hires

  • Common mistakes founders make when building a team

  • Why you should always avoid brilliant jerks, even if they are very brilliant

  • How to divide responsibilities between founders

  • Anticipating growth and setting your team up so that it can scale

  • The difference in skills sets between 'startup people' and employees you would want to hire later on
