/ About this event
Every startup wants the same handful of standout early-career hires and the old playbook for finding them isn't keeping up.
As competition for top talent intensifies, the companies winning aren't just the ones with the biggest brand or budget. This session brings together a founder and a VC to talk about what it actually takes to build a strong early-career bench, from both sides of the table.
We'll get into:
What VCs are actually looking for when they assess a founding team's ability to hire Where the best early-stage talent are coming from now (and where startups are still looking in the wrong places) How founders build hiring strategies that don't rely on brand name or budget What it takes to retain hires once you've landed them
Whether you're building your first team or backing the people who will, this is a conversation about who gets the talent, and why.
This event is a part of #SFTechWeek—a week of events hosted by VCs and startups to bring together the tech ecosystem. Learn more at www.tech-week.com.
