Shaping Your Startup Culture to Thrive

Our panel of experts at our AWS Loft in New York discuss why culture is vital to any startup that wants to survive past its early days. They outline how culture can act as a powerful recruiting, retention, and fundraising tool. They share how culture can set your startup apart, define its purpose, project its values, and help founders prove to investors that the company is more than just an idea. Listeners will learn how culture impacts investment behavior, why diversity matters, what to look for when bringing on co-founders, ways to leverage your culture to attract and retain talent, and how to maintain good culture as your startup grows.
