Episode 1: How Scaling Companies Turn Hiring into a Funding Strategy

Описание:

Growth-stage companies don’t just hire. They build innovation engines.

In Episode 1 of our Pivot + Edge × GrowWise video series, Rebecca Hawman sits down with Lauren from GrowWise to talk about how scaling companies can start thinking about hiring as part of a broader growth and funding strategy through SR&ED.

This conversation is designed for VC-backed startups and revenue-generating scale-ups who are building real products, solving technical challenges, and planning their next phase of growth.

We cover:
What SR&ED actually is and who it applies to
Why innovation and problem-solving sit at the center of the program
How hiring decisions connect to SR&ED outcomes earlier than most teams realize
Why strong companies design roles and teams around innovation, not just job titles

If you’re planning your hiring roadmap and thinking about how to grow more intentionally, this episode is a great place to start.
