The Art of Pre-Seed Team Building: 70% Recruiting, 100% Success
How do you build a world-class team when you are at the "Idea" or "Pre-Seed" stage with limited capital?
Join us for an exclusive session with Manoj Ranaweera, a founder with two decades of experience and two successful exits, as we dive into the "Think Big - Start Small" philosophy. Manoj argues that a Tech CEO should spend approximately 70% of their time on recruiting and building the team.
We will explore how early-stage startups, from Idea to Seed—can access UI/UX designers, Developers, Product Managers, and even legal/accounting help through volunteering. We will discuss real-world case studies, including a startup that leveraged this model for 20 months before securing £1.6 million in Seed investment.
Who Should Attend: Founders, Co-founders, and CEOs of early-stage tech startups (Idea to Seed stage) looking to expand their capabilities without expanding their burn rate.
About the Speaker: Manoj Ranaweera is the founder of SkilledUp Life and an expert in scaling human capital. He has helped countless founders optimize their volunteer sourcing to build sustainable, investable companies.
