I just met a VC. During our conversation, he said “The lifeblood of any great company is great people. Being able to recruit & retain them is the most important thing.” Notice that he didn’t say it’s important. He called it the MOST important. And he should know. He’s Rick Heitzmann, Partner at Firstmark in New York. With $2 billion under management, Firstmark has invested in companies that you know… StubHub, Riot Games, Shopify, Pinterest. Over 100 portfolio companies in total, both consumer & enterprise technology. In fact, Rick has been recognized a bunch of times as one of top 100 VC’s globally. In our 20-minute conversation, he shares his wisdom about how to recruit & retain Rockstars for your fast-growing company.
