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 as easily as possible
- The difference in skills sets between 'startup people' and employees you would want to hire later on
