CHALLENGE 

Building the right leadership team with the needed skills and experience is critical to the success of a startup's rapid growth. Having the wrong people can slow or stall your growth, making an impact as you move into an investment phase. At this point, finding the right person is not about being good at scale-ups; all offer similar salaries, stock, and benefits. The most important thing is that you have to sell the company and its mission, giving you a chance to build a success story from the start.
