In 2021, $329.5 billion was invested in startups across all stages, per Crunchbase. $329.5 billion. Where was a significant majority of that funding spent? Growth. In my career, I have been employed in a wide spectrum of growth roles that range from Series A (in a home on University Ave in Palo Alto) to the 30,000-employee Uber. I’ve witnessed every growth role imaginable, as well as their daily functions, expertise areas, and scope. These experiences have provided me with a solid understanding for how and when startups should begin hiring in their early days.
