Building a Team That Scales: Insights from Companies Who've Gotten It Right

Scaling a team is one of the most exciting inflection points in a founder's journey, and the decisions you make early have an outsized impact on how smoothly that growth happens. In this session, Ron will draw on what he sees across the early-stage and scaling businesses he works with at Rippling to explore what a genuinely scalable people function looks like, when and how founders should start building it, and the habits and infrastructure that separate the teams that scale with confidence from those that have to rebuild on the fly.
