Why Early Hires Should Be Builders, Not Joiners.

Builders vs Joiners

Joiners follow instructions. Builders create the path forward, anticipate needs, and drive momentum. At the earliest stage, mindset matters more than experience.

Thrive in Ambiguity

Startups are messy and fast-moving. Builders take ownership, solve problems, and create structure where none exists, keeping momentum alive even without a roadmap.

Mindset Over Pedigree

Curiosity, drive, and a bias to action matter more than CVs. Early hires shape pace, culture, and how the team handles challenges as the company grows.

Why it Matters

The right early hires don’t just execute, they shape the company’s DNA. They turn uncertainty into momentum and lay the groundwork for growth.
