Replacing founding team members within a startup presents a unique challenge; ensuring that incoming hires from larger corporate environments seamlessly integrate into the intimate and dynamic culture of a startup can often feel like walking a tightrope. The question is: how can founders maintain the original ethos while leveraging the insights of seasoned professionals?
🌟 Integrating new perspectives
Startups need to be strategic to bridge the gap between startup agility and established corporate practices; understanding the value of nurturing work relationships is critical, as discussed in our keynote: Más que retener talento, cuidar vÃnculos. These relationships form the foundation of cultural fit.

The balance between maintaining a startup's unique culture and embracing new perspectives is a delicate art that can drive innovation and growth.
