Ready for Series A

Ready (YC S20) is building tools to close the digital divide. In early 2021, Ready hired GTP to help fill key hires and provide fractional people support in preparation for a Series A. 

GTP was engaged to act as Head of Talent. We helped source high-caliber candidates, define necessary skills and experience per role, conduct interviews, and negotiate offers, all while advising the co-founders at every step of the process. 

Results

In 5 months, we hired nearly a dozen key roles including: VP sales, account executives, project managers, SWEs, QA, growth designer, VP community engagement, digital community director, and EA. 

We built an inclusion-based narrative about Ready’s company mission and culture, and tackled early company growing pains, like researching benefit offerings, building the first org chart, and creating a framework for team leveling.

In their own words
“Ahead of our Series-A, we hired GTP to help us find and recruit the best people for  VP Sales and other early positions in Product, Engineering, and Design. They bring professionalism to our hiring process and are helping the team reach its full potential through culture initiatives and proactive HR.”
