GetAccept is a digital sales room SaaS that empowers revenue team to increase winrates by engaging & understanding buyers from opportunity to signed deal.

They’ve been growing rapidly, and since their launch in 2015, they have grown to 190 people and raised +28m$ in funding.

🐝 The importance of the founding team

🐝 Hiring the first employees - Utilizing networks

🐝 Funding rounds: B-round 20m$ in 2020 & A-round 7m$ in 2019 - How hiring changes when raising capital?

🐝 Biggest fuck-ups around talent acquisition

🐝 Building a leadership team

🐝 How GetAccept utilizes internal promotions?

🐝 How do you first international hires?

🐝 When founder should step out from hiring? Is Samir still participating in hiring decisions?

This was one of my favorite episodes, with many valuable lessons.
