On a pretty regular basis we meet business leaders who are what we would call “business hackers.” This isn’t a good thing or a bad thing, but more of a mentality we see in people. We call them business hackers because they try to hack certain functions of their business. We think that hacking these […]

We tend to work with a number of startups and fast-growth businesses. These companies aren’t always in the tech sector, and we’ve found that the idea of being a “startup” or “fast-growth business” is more of a mindset than a defining characteristic. That mindset is one of growth, speed, development, and change. While working with […]

9 January 2016 Read MoreMeet this computer, it’s your new HR person
I often think about all of these new HR platforms and software programs being rolled out to small businesses. These programs tout many amazing things like the fact that employers will be able to handle administration with a click of a button, or that insurance/payroll/hr can be automated to the point where you won’t need […]

The other day I stumbled onto a post on LinkedIn that seems to be making it’s way around various HR circles. After reading the article I figured I’d weigh in on its main argument that HR needs to be more bold. It’s not that I disagree with being bold or that I think being bold is […]

I recently met a great guy who happens to be the CEO of a well-funded startup based in Washington D.C. This guy was giving me the scoop on his company (a SaaS product that I would guess many in the DC startup scene would know of) and about how innovative they are. Usually when someone […]
