Startup People Leader Cohort

For the “de-facto” people leaders doing dynamic work in early stage startups #WearingAllTheHats

Lead. In Community.

Elevate your presence as a people leader alongside other badass startup powerhouses in similar roles.

  • 6 Weeks of Sessions (May - July, every other week)

  • Thursdays 2pm EST (11am PST)

  • 1.5 Hour Sessions with Expert Guidance + Group Mastermind Style

  • Experts lead first topic of each session, followed by working session to apply learnings and also dig into a secondary and timely topic for the group

  • Topics include Core Values, Feedback, Manager Training, OKR and Performance Structure, Compensation, Benchmarking the People function, Strategy Planning

  • Slack group for continued community

  • $1,200 per participant

  • Capped at 8 vetted participants (COS, COO, CEO, Operations Lead, People Leads)

Startups invest ~75% of our resources in our people.

If it’s your job to:

  • hire, empower and retain these folks

  • establish clear KPI’s and goals across the organization.

  • manage benefits and compensation.

  • also own any other operations project that comes up of course!

This cohort is for YOU! With a mix of expert guidance, community support and co-working, you’ll leave each session with tangible work that we can apply directly into your startup.

In my work with early stage startups over the past 5 years with Hustle Hunters, I've learned how important that core operations person is to the internal culture and people-side of the business (which as we know when it comes down to it - pretty much is the business), and how lonely that role can be. This will be similar to a Mastermind.

Folks reach out as part of online communities and get part of the way, sometimes even end up with a template that's been used before - but often there's that last piece of brainstorming and running through barriers/change management/how to pitch internally and the actual impact of the thing that causes us to not quite get the outcomes we'd hoped for.

So this cohort will be a mix of expert guidance, community support and co-working to leave each session with tangible work that we can apply directly into our startups. We'll all be connected on Slack and the goal will be for this little group to be our go-to resource even long after the cohort's over.
