StartUp Hiring is a podcast about what really happens when startups grow, through the people they bring in. Each episode features someone who’s lived it: founders making early hires, operators landing roles, and people building careers inside startups. We dig into what worked, what didn’t, and what they’d do differently. If you're building a team or trying to join one, this is for you. Subscribe to the StartUp Hiring Substack for deeper dives, tools, and real stories you won’t hear anywhere else.
