(Virtual) Building a Lean Startup Team with AI

​How can early-stage founders build strong teams without hiring too quickly or creating unnecessary overhead?

​Join EchoHer for an interactive virtual conversation with Angus Dunn, Founder and CEO of Xcela and a fractional CTO. Drawing on more than two decades of experience building and leading engineering teams at Vlocity, Salesforce, and SAP SuccessFactors, Angus will share practical advice on:

• ​Who your startup should hire first

• ​When to choose a co-founder, engineer, contractor, or fractional CTO

• ​How AI can help small teams build and move faster

• ​What founders should look for when evaluating technical talent

​This will be a conversational session with plenty of time for founders to share their hiring challenges and ask questions.
