Founder Therapy: What You Wish You Knew About HR and Ops for Startup Growth

​Startups don’t fail because they didn’t hustle hard enough. They fail because their back offices are a mess—people, process, and priorities all out of sync. If you’re a founder, ops lead, or HR-curious team builder trying to scale smart (and not burn out doing it), this one’s for you.

​Join ScaleSpark.ai for a no-fluff, interactive panel discussion where we cut through the chaos and get real about what actually keeps startups running. We’re bringing in the heavy hitters:

​🔥 Jennifer Lawrence, Owner of Centricity Solutions LLC (/lawrencejennifer)
🔥 Tina Peng, former SVP of Operations & Chief of Staff at Raydiant (/tinapengsf)

​We’ll cover:

• ​Why HR isn’t just paperwork (and why ignoring it will cost you)

• ​How HR and operations must work together to fuel growth

• ​How to avoid the HR dumpster fire with compliance tips

• ​How overloading on expensive execs (and hiring your cousin as CPO) blows up your runway before you even leave the ground

• ​Real-world examples of what works—and what crashes and burns

• ​Practical tools and resources you can swipe for your team tomorrow

​Whether you're hiring your first employee or cleaning up a 50-person team's HR chaos, this session will leave you with clarity, direction, and some actual resources to do it better.
