Starting a company is not a solitary endeavor. You might have the perfect Idea, but you won’t execute it well without the right team. Whether it’s finding a co-founder or hiring your first, 10th, or 100th plus employee, it is your team that will execute your vision. The best teams are motivated and diverse. You’ll need to sell your team on your vision, and you’ll need to assemble a talented group of people with varied backgrounds and perspectives.
The leaders on this panel have built such teams and are going to discuss their approach to one of the most critical and challenging aspects of starting a company: How to build a diverse team.
