Venture Catalyst #1 -- Our First Hire

Venture Catalyst #1 -- Our First Hire

Preface

When Pete & Raj founded twenty--twenty, they felt like the universe had conspired to help them achieve their ambitions. Finding Holly five months in was no exception.

This time last year, in the peak of the pandemic, Holly joined twenty--twenty and one year on, the three of them are retelling the story together.

2020 was a year to remember... filled with soaring highs, painful lows, learnings and new directions, it held the hallmarks of any good story! So, instead of a startup fairy-tale, this tale has been told with gloss and grit in equal measure. Hiring a first employee? Looking to join a start-up? This one is for you.

"When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it." The Alchemist
