FOMO x Padel Park: A Padel Session for Founders
First Hires & Founding Teams: A Padel Session for Founders
A founder-focused evening tackling the hardest decision in startups: hiring your first team.
We'll start with padel matches (all skill levels—we'll teach you if you're new), then gather for an honest conversation about who to hire, when to hire them, and how to avoid the expensive mistakes most of us learn the hard way.
Topics include: when to make your first hire, generalists vs specialists, hiring friends, equity splits, firing fast, and building culture from day one. This is a judgment-free space to share what's worked, what hasn't, and what keeps founders up at night about team building. Bring your questions and war stories.
About FOMO: FOMO is a community of engineers, founders, operators, and investors who gather for activities and meaningful conversations. We believe the best discussions happen when you're doing something active together, not sitting in another conference room.
Hosted at Padel Park (https://parkpadel.com/). All equipment provided. Just bring athletic shoes and your hiring questions.
