About this Event
LUNCH WILL BE SERVED!
Being a solo founder is hard. But trying to scale without the right co-pilot and team is impossible.
Your team is your single biggest advantage, yet most founders rush the decision, relying on gut feeling instead of a strategic process. In this critical Lunch & Learn, we move beyond just "finding a developer" and give you a repeatable, intentional framework for building your foundational team.
You will learn how to shift your mindset from hiring to partnering and structure your team to mitigate the biggest risks to an early-stage company: burnout and founder conflict.
If you are a solo-entrepreneur and thinking about finding a co-founder or an early stage start up looking to build out your team, then this session is for you. Products and customers are of course important but if you don't have the right people in the correct roles it can be the difference between stalling or growing.
What You’ll Learn:
✅ How to choose the right co-founder (and what questions to ask)
✅ Who your first 3 hires should be — tech, ops, marketing?
✅ Common hiring mistakes and how to avoid them
✅ Leveraging free/low-cost tech and community resources
✅ Building inclusive teams from Day 1
✅ How platforms like B-Ready can help you hire smart
Come and mingle with other founders looking to build their team! See you there!
SPEAKER:
Usha Srinivasan, Founder and CEO @ BReady Talent
