Don't be the Bottleneck. Learn who you need, when to hire, and the people mistakes that cost you.
Most companies don't stall on a bad idea. They stall because the founder is doing everything. Business mentor Chris McCord on building the team, partners, and support network that let you actually grow.
This event is about the part of scaling nobody warns you about: the people. Chris McCord has spent 20 years helping founders build the teams, partners, and support networks that actually hold up under growth. He'll walk through who you need around you before you ever make a hire, how to tell you're genuinely ready to bring someone on, and the quiet people mistakes that cap a company's growth. Expect a practical, story-driven session, honest Q&A, and real time to connect with founders wrestling with the same calls. Food and drinks included.
Subject to change.
Chris McCord has spent more than twenty years helping independent small businesses along the East Coast strengthen their operations, infrastructure, and internal communication so they can actually hit their growth goals. For the past five years he has mentored startup and early-stage founders through programs in Greenville and Spartanburg, connecting them to the local resources he has built over two decades. He focuses on the people side of scaling: how founders attract and keep the talent that drives profitable growth. A Winthrop University business graduate, Chris enjoys helping founders build the right foundation for success.
