Life IS hard for a founder! The spotlight is on you. And the decisions you make shape what happens next. What happens when you're growing, and the business is getting bigger than you can handle? You need to hire.
But hiring isn't something you just do if you want to get it right. The same mistakes so many other startups have made aren't something you need to figure out by yourself. Imagine having access to experts that live and breathe early-stage GTM hiring to help you get it right the first time around... This is The ATP Studio.
We help early-stage founders save time, money, and risk by addressing one of the most common pitfalls they face... hiring. With Amy Volas and Taryn Lanaghan leading your private startup consulting sessions, you'll gain the expertise and tools to create your own hiring system.
