"Building a great team isn't enough, you need to build a cult." There are many things that can determine the success or the failure of your startup, but no factor is more powerful and more in your control than how you build your team. In a startup, execution is EVERYTHING. You need the right people, and you need the right mindset. Alice Zagury knows a little bit about this... Alice Zagury is cofounder & CEO of TheFamily, a private investor (300+ startups, $100M+ raised for top companies). Previously, she created the first startup accelerator in France, Le Camping. She's had a lot of experience on hiring & culture, being around startups for many years and working on her own team at TheFamily.
