Assemble Venture Assets and Role Requirements
Collect the venture's current roadmap, cap table constraints, traction metrics, and operational workflows to inform candidate evaluation. Synthesise these operational realities into a structured recruitment pack that transparently reflects the company's current stage and equity pool.
Gathering these inputs ensures candidate discussions are grounded in transparent, real-world venture data and realistic equity offers. It guarantees that candidate evaluation is conducted against actual operational demands rather than vague assumptions.
Compile a co-founder briefing dossier containing the venture roadmap, current financial runway, equity availability, and immediate 90-day deliverables. Ensure all IP ownership status and existing founder contribution records are fully documented and accessible.
