Founder Thursday
Building a startup is not a one-person job forever.
At some point, founders have to build a team that can execute, take ownership, solve problems, and grow with the business. But knowing who to hire, when to hire, and how to build the right team at an early stage can be difficult especially when resources are limited.
For this edition of Founders Thursday, we’re having a practical conversation around:
Building the Team That Investors Want to Back
We’ll be joined by Paul Oisamoje, serial founder and founder of DoctorOnTap, Luveris Group, and Xala Premium, who will share lessons from his experience building businesses and teams.
We’ll explore:
When should an early-stage founder start hiring?
What roles should founders prioritise first?
How do you identify people who can actually execute?
What should founders look for beyond skills and experience?
How do you build a strong team when you don't have a huge budget?
What are some common early-stage hiring mistakes?
How should founders approach co-founder and team responsibilities?
What makes investors confident in a founding team?
What team gaps or red flags can affect investor confidence?
How do you build a team that can grow with the business?
This is not a hiring lecture. It’s a practical conversation about building the people and structure behind the business.
Come with your questions, especially if you're currently building your first team, thinking about hiring, or preparing your startup for its next stage of growth.
