At One Ventures’ Post

Being Founders, we more than likely got into business by tackling a problem in a new innovative way. We need to exercise that same sentiment when we face our very own business challenges. We need to challenge traditional ways of solving them with that same innovative thinking we applied when we first started our venture. Hiring employees to fix a problem is one way, strategic and creative collaborations with experts is another. Many times these experts are 'unhirable' BUT they ARE accessible. DNA-Business

Business owners often ask me: "How do you pick the right team member? What qualities are you looking for?" It's a great question, and after some reflection, I realized the most important factor is actually quite simple: shared values. Sure, skills and experience are important, but at Enventure, we take a strategic approach to team building that goes beyond just a resume. We focus on three key pillars: ✅ Cultural Fit & Shared Values: We believe a strong company culture is the foundation for success. That's why we seek individuals who resonate with Enventure's values, fostering a collaborative and passionate environment where everyone feels empowered to contribute. ✅ Industry Expertise & Entrepreneurial Spirit: We value a blend of experience and drive. Our team members bring deep industry knowledge alongside the entrepreneurial spirit needed to identify and nurture high-growth companies. ✅ Shared Vision for the Future: We're all on the same journey – building a future where innovative healthcare technology empowers patients. We look for people who share this vision and are excited to contribute to making it a reality. But how do we translate this vision into a passionate and engaged team? It's all about clear communication, fostering a sense of ownership, and celebrating successes together. And to be honest that is my recipe for a successful team. #PrivateEquity #VentureCapital #BuildingTeam #Investment #Teamwork #Culture #SharedVision
