741 – Helping Digital Entrepreneurs Hire Their Dream Team with Integrate Up’s Laura Couvillon
How Integrate Up Helps Digital Entrepreneurs Build Their Dream Teams
In the fast-paced world of digital entrepreneurship, finding the right talent can feel like searching for a needle in a haystack. That’s where Laura Couvillon, CEO of Integrate Up, steps in. In a recent episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur, Laura shared her journey from corporate life to running a thriving business dedicated to connecting digital entrepreneurs with top-notch service providers, including virtual assistants, integrators, and online business managers.
A Bridge Between Visionaries and Service Providers
Integrate Up serves as a matchmaker for two essential audiences: visionary entrepreneurs seeking reliable talent and service providers eager to find meaningful work. Laura’s company simplifies what is often a time-consuming and overwhelming hiring process. By emphasizing cultural fit as the foundation, Integrate Up ensures seamless collaborations that benefit both parties. As Laura explained, “If the cultural piece is not there, you’re not going to enjoy working together, even if the skills are a perfect match.”
From Corporate to Connector
Laura’s journey began in the corporate world, where she spent over a decade managing large-scale conferences and trade shows. After starting a family, she pivoted to the online space, initially dabbling in social media management before discovering her knack for operations and project management. This expertise naturally evolved into her role as an integrator, and later, the creation of Integrate Up.
With a unique hiring process that includes skill assessments and thorough interviews, Laura and her team deliver curated candidates, helping entrepreneurs find their ideal hires with minimal effort.
Why Building a Team Matters
Laura’s advice to entrepreneurs is simple yet powerful: “Don’t be scared to build a team.” Whether you work with Integrate Up or handle hiring yourself, having the right team can exponentially grow your business and free up time to focus on strategic, high-impact work.
