This Breakfast is a part of a 2-day Maria 01 NEXT Startup Festival. If you find this session interesting, we invite you to explore the full program.

How do you build a global company when your team is still small?

For today’s startups, ambitious growth doesn’t necessarily mean building a large team from day one. AI and new technology are changing how lean teams operate, allowing founders and their teams to achieve more with fewer resources, while also opening up new possibilities for hiring and working across borders.

Join Rippling for a breakfast session exploring how startups can scale talent alongside their business. From deciding what to automate and when to hire, to building a global workforce strategy from the start, we’ll look at how founders can build teams that are ready to grow internationally.

Come for breakfast, practical insights and a conversation about building a global company with a lean team.

Meet the panelistsAntonia Eneh - Co-Founder and CEO of Elva, former CEO at Wave Ventured.Rob Pappas - Co-Founder and Recruitment Partner at R&RTalent Advisors.
