    Maddy is the creator Notion Capital’s report: The Unicorn Hiring Trajectory. It compares how SaaS unicorns hire compared to non-unicorn businesses. 80% of VC capital goes on headcount, and Maddy has created new insights on how these choices affect your growth trajectory.
  • Agenda
    • After raising $3-$15m, add between 2-4 VP/C level people to the team every year (majority of those will be in Sales roles).
    • Unicorn groups have a bigger experience gap between their employees averaging 25 years - this kind of cognitive diversity can be very productive.
    • Unicorns have great diversity in terms of educational background which combines structured academic thinking with real-world vocational thinking.
    • Unicorns have a significantly greater proportion of leaders who have previously worked in VC backed public companies.
    • Bringing people in will always change the culture. Think about whether to hire internally or externally?
