How to hire in the age of AI - Petter Made (Partner @EWOR, Co-Founder @SumUp) | EWOR x MIT Startup Pass
EWOR applications are open until June 1st.
How do you hire in the age of AI? How do you create a team culture that keeps the top talent?
Petter will share how he hired the first 200 hires at SumUp and then helped scale Drooms to over eight figures in revenue and built his team from scratch to 75 employees. In this hands-on workshop, he will share:
What to hire for (talent vs. technical skills vs. personality traits)
How AI changes the hiring equation
How do you establish a high-performance team culture
and much more
The evening ends with a Q&A session, where you can ask Petter your most pressing questions about hiring, your current challenges in your startup and anything else.

About EWOR
EWOR is a fellowship for outlier founders building transformative tech. We believe that entrepreneurs shape the future – yet only a few create generational impact. This is why we support the top 0.1% of founders with up to €500,000 in funding and weekly 1:1 mentorship from unicorn founders (Adjust, ProGlove, SumUp) who now work full-time at EWOR.
Our approach is virtual-first and modular so that it can suit each founder's non-linear journey, no matter where in the world they are. No standardized playbooks or rigid programming.
Building alongside proven peers, our fellows break records – from raising a €13M pre-seed round as a first-time founder to achieving a $3B valuation within 2 years of joining EWOR.
