HR Setup for Early-Stage Startups

Setting up HR in a startup is not about policies. It’s about people, systems that scale.

I’ve led the People & Culture function at a Series A startup. If you’re:

• A founder building your first team
• A solo HR figuring out where to start
• Transitioning into an HR role at a small company

This session will help you:

• Understand what matters most in early-stage HR
• Set up the basics: hiring, onboarding, performance, culture
• Avoid common pitfalls in structure and communication
• Design processes that are lean but effective

I’ll share frameworks and practical steps tailored to your context.
