Growing your SaaS start-up to first 20 employees

Struggling with scaling your team to 20 people?

In this week's #TalentBuzz, I talk with Aku Pöllänen from Aatos.app. We discussed how they scaled their team to the first 20 employees.

Here are the things we will cover in detail:

🚀 They founded Aatos in 2018 but moved to full-time in 2020. What was the point when they decided to go all in?

🚀 How many founders were they?

🚀When they realized that they needed the first employee

🚀There’s no room for free riders. Hire only the best. How do they ensure this?

🚀 Equity isn’t salary. Why do you need to pay a competitive salary?

🚀Recruitment takes a lot of time → This seems surprising for many founders.

🚀What was the difference in hiring the first employee vs the tenth employee?

🚀Is Aku still participating in hiring decisions as a CEO?

🚀What’s been their biggest fuck up regarding recruitments?
