Going Early - Breakfast with Inspired Capital & Sapienne
What does it actually mean to make the leap to an early-stage startup, and how do you know if the timing, role, and company are right?
Join Inspired Capital and Sapienne for an intimate breakfast conversation for operators considering joining early-stage companies on March 5th.
This session is designed to help you think more clearly about early-stage opportunities — from role scope and growth paths to risk, timing, and how early decisions can shape both a company and your career.
The conversation will feature Charlotte Ross, Partner at Inspired Capital, and experienced recruiter Debbie Wissel, whose firm has expertise in placing product leaders at early-stage startups (and who started her career as a product leader herself).
Together, they’ll share perspectives from both sides of the table: how investors think about early teams, how recruiters assess fit, and what candidates should ask before making the leap.
Expect a thoughtful, candid discussion with time for live questions, plus informal conversation over coffee and breakfast.
