Placed 100+ in crypto jobs. Found the gaps, fixing them. 3x grant-backed founder building @interestedfyi to reshape onchain hiring. Ex @ConsenSysMesh.

hi everyone :) 

I've been building teams for most of my career. Always at startups because it's more fun. 

I joined Optimism two years ago and am responsible for developing our Engineering, Product, and Design teams. 

I love crypto and I love Farcaster. Feel free to ask me about literally anything!!

Curious to know what are the key characteristics of building out a successful team? Does it differ from a technical team versus a design team? What do you hire first at a start up?

We can be safe or we can change everything🐉


Building a team: 
1. understand the role/need
2. understand the candidates
3. don't settle + don't rush

Those fundamentals don't really shift across teams. 

First hire at a startup: 
Totally depends on what you are building! We spun out of a research org that was six technical people. A GC was an early hire.
