If you’re like many entrepreneurs, you know what human resources is, and you probably know that it’s a responsibility - one you must take on before hiring your first employee. However, you might not know about the various options there are to help you manage your HR. On March 27th, 2020 HR Strategy Power-Connector Jessica Schultz, Venture Capital Practice Leader at TriNet, joined FI Managing Director of Alumni Success Mike Suprovici for a practical deep-dive on startup Human Resources 101. 

It turns out, many different HR options exist, even for early-stage companies – and of course, there are advantages and disadvantages to each. Watch the video below to understand those options, and learn practical tips on how to decide which is best for your business. For more information, please reach out to Jessica or Cailie from TriNet directly. Note: All Founder Institute entrepreneurs receive preferred pricing on TriNet via our partnership (min 50% discount).
