Hiring at an early-stage startup is a nightmare. No money. No brand. No stability. So why would anyone work for you?
The truth is, you can’t afford A-players, and even B and C players would rather take a safe job elsewhere. So how do you build a team when you have nothing to offer?
In this episode, I break down:
• How I used interns to build a startup from scratch.
• Why onboarding is not a one-week process—but a 12-24 months grind.
• Why founders must do sales, support, and operations first—before expecting their team to succeed.
Startups don’t have hiring power. You have to hustle, train, and build people from the ground up.
