Crossing the Bridge from Founder(s) to Having A Team: Roadmap for Scaling with Finance, HR, and Legal

Growing beyond the founder(s) is one of the most exciting transitions a scaling startup can make. It opens the door to new capacity, new capabilities, and new momentum. The decisions around finance, HR, and employment law are more connected than most founder(s) realise, and getting them right together and at the right time makes all the difference. This session is for founder or co-founders of early-stage startups who are: - Approaching their first hire or considering growing beyond themselves - Currently working with contractors and evaluating whether employees make sense - Hesitant about becoming an employer due to concerns about cost, liability, or commitment - Looking for practical guidance on the financial, HR, and legal foundations of building a team - Already building a team and wanting to make sure the fundamental areas are in place The speakers include experts in finance, HR, and employment law to answer the real questions founder(s) work through when crossing the bridge to having a team, including sharing the real experience on making that transition. From why and when to scale, to understanding the options, the financial considerations, and the preparations and foundations to have in place to do it properly. Speakers: Eugene Fung, Denise Wong, James Hsu, Andrea Welling Presented by Eugenie HR
