/ About this event

As companies scale quickly, HR infrastructure often fails to keep pace—creating hidden exposure (and cost) in hiring, policies, documentation, manager practices, and the rapid adoption of AI tools without governance. These gaps can compound into compliance issues, investigations, and costly operational missteps.

This session explores how to use HR as a business strategy, where risk accumulates during growth, and what leaders need to systematize before their next stage of scale. Attendees will learn how to build HR infrastructure that supports business growth, reduce exposure, and recognize when specialized HR support or outsourcing can help stabilize and scale.

For: Founders, CEOs, and startup leaders (Seed–Series B, early Series C) especially those scaling headcount quickly, making their first strategic HR hire, or operating without formal HR infrastructure.

This event is a part of #LATechWeek—a week of events hosted by VCs and startups to bring together the tech ecosystem. Learn more at www.tech-week.com
