TiE Atlanta October Monthly Meeting – Growing Your Team & Tech Talent
How do you build a team that can actually scale with your company?
Every founder faces the same challenge — what works when you’re ten people breaks when you’re a hundred. As your company grows, hiring, leadership, and culture all have to evolve. This month’s conversation brings together executives and founders who’ve led teams through every stage of growth and know what it takes to build organizations that last.
