Founder Therapy: What You Wish You Knew About HR and Ops for Startup Growth
Startups don’t fail because they didn’t hustle hard enough. They fail because their back offices are a mess—people, process, and priorities all out of sync. If you’re a founder, ops lead, or HR-curious team builder trying to scale smart (and not burn out doing it), this one’s for you.
Join ScaleSpark.ai for a no-fluff, interactive panel discussion where we cut through the chaos and get real about what actually keeps startups running. We’re bringing in the heavy hitters:
🔥 Jennifer Lawrence, Owner of Centricity Solutions LLC (https://www.linkedin.com/in/lawrencejennifer/)
🔥 Tina Peng, former SVP of Operations & Chief of Staff at Raydiant (https://www.linkedin.com/in/tinapengsf/)
We’ll cover:
Why HR isn’t just paperwork (and why ignoring it will cost you)
How HR and operations must work together to fuel growth
How to avoid the HR dumpster fire with compliance tips
How overloading on expensive execs (and hiring your cousin as CPO) blows up your runway before you even leave the ground
Real-world examples of what works—and what crashes and burns
Practical tools and resources you can swipe for your team tomorrow
Whether you're hiring your first employee or cleaning up a 50-person team's HR chaos, this session will leave you with clarity, direction, and some actual resources to do it better.
