/ About this event
Hiring your first employee is a completely different challenge from hiring your 10th, 50th, or 100th.
Join us during SF Tech Week for a candid fireside conversation with leaders who have experienced what it actually takes to build, grow, and evolve a team as a company scales.
Featuring Court Lorenzini of DocuSign, Susanna Niu of MeeBoss, and two additional guest speakers to be announced, we’ll dig into the decisions that shape a company long before there’s a big recruiting team or polished hiring playbook:
- Who should your first hires actually be? - When do you hire for experience versus potential? - How does your hiring process need to change as you scale? - What early hiring mistakes become expensive later? - How do founders preserve culture while bringing in dozens of new people? - When should founders stop owning every hiring decision themselves?
This isn’t a conversation about perfect frameworks or corporate recruiting theory. It’s about the real decisions, mistakes, lessons, and tradeoffs that come with building a team from the ground up.
Following the fireside chat, stick around for drinks, conversation, and the chance to connect with other founders and operators who are actively building and growing companies.
