- In this episode of Founders Unplugged, I sit down with Beth Nevins, founder of developer.io - a people and talent consultancy that supports founders in early-stage startups from seed to Series C.
- Developa.io provides three core services:
- Candidate sourcing and retained executive searches to help startups find the right talent.
- People design projects, strategy development, performance management, and reward structuring - particularly relevant for companies post-Series A.
- Coaching and mentoring programs tailored for first-time founders navigating the Series B journey.
- In this insightful conversation, Beth shares her journey from recruitment to the startup world, and the challenges founders face at different stages. We cover a range of topics, including:
- Hiring the right talent at the seed stage when founders often don't know what they need
- Designing organizational structures and defining roles as the company scales
- The importance of communication, culture, and data-driven decision-making for sustainable growth
- Managing performance expectations and enabling career growth within high-growth environments
- Coaching advice for first-time founders facing unfamiliar situations and tough decisions
- Whether you're a founder building your team or looking to join a startup, this episode offers valuable insights from Beth's wealth of experience in the startup ecosystem. Tune in for an engaging discussion on people, talent, and what it really takes to scale a successful venture.
