Off to a flying start: who should you hire to raise a Tier-1 Series A?

Maddy Cross, a Partner based in the London office of Erevena, recently undertook research in partnership with Berlin-based Point Nine Capital, looking at how Seed stage businesses hire.

The focus of the research was to uncover what the hiring patterns of top performing B2B software and marketplace businesses look like, from when they start out to 18 months later on: How many people do they hire, what functions are these people in, and how much experience do they have?

Maddy commented that “At Erevena we work with early stage Founders who frequently approach us around their Series A point, and we have a very clear view of what great teams look like. But we are also aware that getting to Series A is a tough task and want to ensure that Founders who are setting out on that journey have the best chance of success. This research aims to support that need, and we hope it will be a useful guide for those who’re starting out on their journey.”
