Listen "Why don’t startups hire data teams?"

Episode Synopsis

I recently read an article that talked about the first ⁠10 hires⁠ in various startups. None were data people. More interestingly, of the 19 companies interviewed, more than 30% were data companies, yet even among these, only 50% of those companies recruited a data person. In today's podcast, I'm incredibly excited to be speaking with Kevin Hu, CEO of Metaplane, a data startup that (I believe) has data people on the team, to understand why exactly don't startups hire data teams?Music by ⁠Ievgen Poltavskyi⁠ from ⁠Pixabay
