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