Rebel Fund Webinar | Culture Is a Talent Strategy: How Purpose Shapes the Teams You Build
We’re excited to invite you to our upcoming webinar with Claudia Tomas, CEO & Founder of TalentRE, on Wednesday, October 7 at 1:00 pm ET / 10:00 am PT on Culture Is a Talent Strategy: How Purpose Shapes the Teams You Build.
As companies scale, culture becomes much more than a communications exercise. It becomes a critical part of attracting and retaining the right talent.
In this session, Claudia will explore how founders and their HR teams can turn purpose and culture into a practical talent strategy. The session has previously been delivered for LSE Generate and Google for Startups, with upcoming sessions for Creandum and Planet A Ventures.
Claudia will cover:
Why mission alignment is one of the highest-leverage retention tools available to early-stage companies
Common mistakes founders make when building culture at speed, and how to course-correct
The three types of purpose in business: Competence, Cause, and Culture, and how each shapes who you attract and how long they stay
How to navigate hiring as capital increasingly shifts from people toward AI, and what that means for building teams today
We’ll also leave plenty of room for discussion and Q&A, including an additional topic tailored to the challenges most relevant to founders today.
We hope you can join us for a thoughtful and practical conversation on building a culture that helps attract, engage, and retain the right people as your company grows.
