Hiring and compensating the right team is one of the most critical — and challenging — parts of building a successful startup. Whether you’re hiring your first engineer, expanding your sales team, or bringing on a fractional CMO, this event will equip you with practical strategies to scale your team thoughtfully and efficiently. Lindsey S. Mignano will speak alongside Jacquelynne Suguitan of Trinet, Erica Xuechen Jiang of Loyal VC, and Monica Pool Knox of Good Trouble Ventures on topics such as when (and how) to make your first key hires to build a diverse and mission-driven team from Day 1, how to navigate salary compensation, equity compensation, and remote hiring, legal pitfalls and best practices for expansion, including onboarding co-founders and other C-level and VP-level executives at the early stage, and how your VCs can help when it comes to scaling your team strategically and efficiently.  Vivek Gutheti of Pilot.com will moderate the panel.
