We’ve all heard of Founder-Led Sales. But no one ever talks about Founder-Led HR.

Challenges with people aren’t side issues, they’re the main story for every start up.

Whether you like it or not – as a founder you wear every hat. You’re not just product or vision or tech - you’re also IT, HR, fundraising, marketing, office admin, customer service, and more.

When you’re moving this fast, every hire, every conversation and every conflict matters.

You know your team is what will make or break your business - but people challenges feel like distractions.

Megan Luttrell, Founder PeopleStack, Founder AFC

I work in the HR space and I recommend TALY to every founder and HR lead I meet. We also use it in our PeopleStack program to help teams build a minimum viable people function.

The tool is accurate, practical, and genuinely so useful! Could not speak more highly of Taly.
