It's FRIDAY!!!! Woot woot! Here is the phrase of the day for business and some examples of how to use it. PITCH IN 😍 During the team meeting, everyone was encouraged to pitch in their ideas for the upcoming project, fostering a collaborative atmosphere. 😍Every team member needs to pitch in and contribute their expertise to ensure the success of the company's new initiative. 😍As the deadline approached, the entire team had to pitch in extra hours to meet the client's expectations and deliver the project on time. 😍In the fast-paced world of startups, flexibility is key, and employees are expected to pitch in wherever their skills are needed. 😍The success of the product launch relied on each department's ability to pitch in and coordinate efforts seamlessly. 😍During the brainstorming session, everyone was encouraged to pitch in their thoughts on how to improve internal processes and boost overall efficiency. #clasesdeinglés #costarica #formación #capacitación

I hosted a panel last week with startup engineering leaders Erynn Petersen, Jordyn Bonds, and Sha-Mayn Teh. It was a fun hour with lots of 🌶 spicy takes, honest answers, and laughs ✨ , and was extra special because it was held with the the the old girls club and during Women’s History Month 👩🎤 👩💻 👩⚖️ 👩🚀 👩✈️ Here’s our takeaways: 1️⃣ Do I Need a Technical Co-Founder? Having technical co-founders is beneficial but not always necessary, especially at the very beginning. Don’t get stalled looking for the perfect match. Make progress on validating your idea no-code tools, or through partnering with agencies, contractors, or advisors. Be very honest about whether you need a developer or want a co-founder. When searching for a technical co-founder, look for someone who shares your vision and understands the product and business strategy. 2️⃣ How Do I Evaluate and Hire for Technical Roles? Have candidates do mini-projects with the team rather than go through only abstract technical questions. Look for curiosity, learning ability and passion to solve problems over specific skills. Gauge their excitement for your company by their willingness to contribute. Align on your startup’s pace and expectations, especially if the candidate comes from Big Tech. Lean on an engineer you trust or a technical advisor to evaluate the candidate’s technical output. 3️⃣ How Should Early Stage Startups Build Products? Remember that you’re optimizing for solving your users’ problems, not velocity for velocity's sake. Iterative development with continuous user testing and feedback is critical. Avoid big, monolithic product builds, especially when hiring an agency or outsourcers. Hold frequent, even daily standups to align on goals and descope/prioritize ruthlessly. Do this with both internal and outsourced teams. Monitor engineering velocity indicators like DORA metrics to catch issues early. Anything else you’d like to add? Let us know!
