Something I’ve noticed working with startups: GTM strategies succeed or fail based on how quickly the team can adapt to change. Even the best tools or playbooks fall flat if the team isn’t flexible. 👉 What have you found more effective: hiring more experienced talent from day 1, or hiring adaptable people and investing in training?
sometimes experienced talent can be stuck in their ways and better suited to carrying out proven strategies rather than adapting to the needs at early stage. Pace of execution would be my no.1 metric from my experience of startup
I'm a huge supporter of fractional hiring especially for startups
Alex P. Such a good point, Alex 👌 I’ve seen the same, sometimes ‘more experienced’ doesn’t always mean faster in a startup context. Adaptability + pace of execution really set the tone. Curious, when you’ve prioritized execution speed, what role or skill set made the biggest difference for you? Chandana P. Love that, Chandana! 🙌 Fractional hiring can really give startups the senior expertise they need without slowing down burn rate. I’m curious—have you seen it work better in GTM roles (sales/marketing) or in more technical positions?
Marien M. I find it works in every role. Of course, the hiring teams/founders need to make the decision based on number of available working hours :)
