In this episode, we speak with Pete Clarke and Paula Judge from Accel, a seed, early and growth-stage venture capital firm that powers a global community of entrepreneurs. We talk about the common themes and needs of portfolio companies, particularly regarding employee engagement and retention during difficult times.
We also discuss the challenges faced by companies with high valuations, using fractional and interim talent to help with hiring needs, and the importance of understanding individual motivations when it comes to finding the right fit.
Furthermore, we also touch on the traits that successful founders possess when it comes to scaling their companies and the challenges of replicating the success of product-led growth companies like Slack.
