Bridger

💡 Startups are not built by their founders alone - they have to assemble the right #team to make their vision a reality. Sounds like a platitude, right? Interestingly, many founders cite this "people" dimension of high-growth startups as the one factor that they have underestimated the most - in comparison to sales, product development, or fundraising. One reason might be that hiring, onboarding and leadership processes are rather soft topics without immediate value-add that end up getting deprioritized over and over again. To tackle this mismatch, we asked three founders to share their own best practices that make the "soft" people topics much more tangible. We are happy to provide some insights in this post: Jannik Schewe, co-founder of Bridger, shared his insights on hiring top-notch developers and/or salespeople. 𝐇𝐢𝐧𝐭: Individualization wins! Sebastian Wengryn, co-founder of ContractHero | Digital Contract Management and xdeck-Alumnus, then outlined strategies to optimize onboarding process that give new hires a kickstart. 𝐇𝐢𝐧𝐭: Preparation is critical! Lastly, Phillip Eischet, co-founder of RightNow Group and xdeck mentor, shared essential insights into mastering leadership as a founder. 𝐇𝐢𝐧𝐭: Values matter!
