From VentureBeat:
If you are the CEO of an early stage startup, or are thinking about starting a company in the near future, you’re probably thinking about how to build your team.
There’s one very important yet often-overlooked piece of advice I would like to give you: Getting the very best talent–the “unicorns”–and not settling for “B” players is the single most important factor in success for startups.
When you decide to enter a market, there will almost always be competitors, and they’ll likely have comparable ideas, technology, or funding. Thus, success for a startup is often determined by one fundamental thing: your team.
At Fivestars, we’ve been able to recruit top-tier talent from Silicon Valley companies such as Facebook, Google, and Apple all within our first year and half of operations. In this article I’d like to share with you how we were able to accomplish this as a young company, because if you have the right idea and the right team, your startup will be much better equipped to outperform the competition.
