October's Enterprise Tech Meetup will feature a moderated panel of leading VC's and entrepreneurs discussing best practices for attracting, hiring and retaining both technical and non-technical employees at a startup.

With startups, the key answers to success are as follows: people, people and people. However, when starting or growing a team, what approach and critically important legal considerations should a founder take? How is hiring different for a B2B startup compared to a B2C startup? Then, once youve built a great team, what you do to make sure they stay with your company?
