HR for Startups: Lessons I Wish I’d Learned Sooner

​Scaling a startup is tough, and getting the people side of your business right is just as critical as building your product or securing funding. During this in-person session, we’ll dive into key HR lessons that startup leaders wish they had learned earlier—from hiring and management to culture-building and co-founder dynamics. Whether you’re wondering when to bring in HR support or how to avoid common pitfalls, this panel conversation will give you actionable insights to help you navigate the challenges of growing your team. Learn from those who’ve been there, so you don’t have to figure it all out the hard way!

​This in-person seminar is open all startups in the UMD ecosystem. If you have any questions, please reach out to Scott Christensen at schris14@umd.edu.
