S18E4: How To Attract & Retain Young Talent with VC Keyona Meeks

Amidst all the ways you can grow a startup, there's one truth everyone can agree on: Bad hires can tank a company.

So how do you position your company as attractive to a talent pool?

And not just any talent pool, but the pool that's driving the future of work — young talent?

At just 25 years old, Keyona Meeks has made waves in the startup world, going from Investment Strategist at Bronze Valley VC to becoming General Partner at Black Tech Capital.

She's advised dozens of companies on their talent acquisition strategies and believes that posting up at a college job fair might not be the best use of your time and money.

She steps to the mic in this week's episode to share the ecosystem-based approach that innovative companies use to source, hire, and retain top young talent.
