Upcoming Events

Building the Right Team When Resources are Scarce
Lunch & Learn
Wednesday, September 16, 12:00 – 1:30 pm
Matt has spent more than 20 years inside medical device hiring decisions — many of them at companies that were pre-revenue, cash-tight, and one milestone away from a raise or a wind-down. He’ll walk through the sequencing that actually works: which role to fill first and which to defer, when a fractional hire or consultant beats a full-time one, and how to structure compensation, benefits, and equity so your offer competes without money you don’t have. He’ll also argue that your best early hires often won’t have the obvious résumé — and show you how to recognize them anyway.
