Most early-stage founders treat hiring as a fire drill (especially in the AI era), but Richard Hughes (Gutter Capital) proves it must be a core competency.
Join Startup Grind on December 9th as we dismantle the standard startup recruiting playbook. We'll cover Richard's philosophy on hiring fewer people, hiring them better, & keeping them longer.
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN
- Cross-Functional Evaluation: How to assess & validate candidates in areas outside your own expertise (e.g., a non-technical founder hiring their first AI engineer).
- The Closing Framework: A structured approach for decision-making during late-stage negotiations to secure top prospects without losing leverage.
- Lo-Fi Talent Magnets: Scrappy, low-cost methods to position your company as a destination for top-tier talent, even before you have the brand recognition.
- The "Curve of Excellence": How to structure an interview process that builds conviction over time rather than just checking functional boxes.
We'll also dive into Gutter's new Elbow Grease AI accelerator, which is deploying $300k to founders solving real-world problems. Get the specific selection criteria for this NYC-based program directly from the partner leading the search.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
- Pre-seed/Seed founders building their founding teams.
- Operators looking to transition into high-growth startup roles.
- AI builders interested in the Elbow Grease AI accelerator program.
