Comments on: After the Funding: Build a Team that is Smart and Gets Things Done http://thenextweb.com/2008/04/09/after-the-funding-build-a-team-that-is-smart-and-gets-things-done/ International technology news, business & culture Wed, 15 Feb 2012 06:23:52 +0100 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Mark Schiefelbein http://thenextweb.com/2008/04/09/after-the-funding-build-a-team-that-is-smart-and-gets-things-done/#comment-361697 Mark Schiefelbein Thu, 10 Apr 2008 18:32:44 +0000 http://thenextweb.org/2008/04/09/after-the-funding-build-a-team-that-is-smart-and-gets-things-done/#comment-361697 In the post I was trying to get at two changes: Funded companies will hire (1) more people and (2) more senior staff. Before funding, a lot less hiring happens. This is partly due to limited funds. But also ok as you are still developing the concept. After the funding there is money. And you will also want to accelerate and quickly turn the concept into a business. And the execution required to turn the concept into business in my opinion requires a certain amount of experience that is less relevant in the early stage.

Funded companies will only find harder to embed organizational learning with new employees since they'll have less time to do it I don’t see anything in this article that differs “before the funding” to “after the funding” companies.
