No business can succeed unless it can attract – and retain – the right startup and innovation talent.
That much is obvious.
What is less well understood is that startup or innovation talent is not simply a skill – such as a php programmer or successful sales person – rather, it is a combinations of attitudes and experiential learning that equip that person to perform in an environment of extreme uncertainty.
We take a different approach to founder recruitment – which includes the following
- - assessment of current startup or innovation team skills and gaps
- - identifying missing gaps – and electing to train into the gaps or recruit
- - establish the nature of the role – is it a critical skill or a key innovation attribute?
- - establish a model for equity share and remuneration which works for current founders and is sufficiently attractive for new partners to motivate and retain
With this insight and information you are now able to find the right partner, establish the right agreement between you and build a lasting relationship that will have significant impact on the success of your business.
We can then help you find your founders – whether you work through our contacts, your own contacts or we help you establish new relationships with networks and recruiters directly.
