About the Event
Choosing Your Co-Founder & Building Your Leadership Team A Lunch & Learn for Founders | 90 Minutes | Hosted by Ben Franklin Technology Partners
Every startup eventually hits the same wall: people problems that money alone can't fix, and not enough budget to throw at them yet. In this 90 minute session, we'll dig into how to sequence your HR priorities as you grow, which systems actually need to exist on day one versus day one hundred, and how to build a people function that scales with you — from spreadsheets and good instincts to your first HR hire. You'll walk away with a clearer lens for building the right HR foundation at the right time, without overspending on infrastructure you don't need yet.
Led by Marcia O'Connor, founder of The O'Connor Group, a nationally recognized, WBENC-certified HR consulting and executive search firm. This workshop draws on nearly two decades of experience helping founders get the people side of their business right, from co-founder fit, to leadership structure, to scaling teams on a budget.
This event is meant for founders, please only sign up if you are certain you can attend, as space is limited.
