Amy Johnson, the co-founder, and CEO, often praises her team and won Powderkeg’s 2020 National Tech Culture Awards for Startup Culture and Work-Life Balance. In this Fireside Chat, we sit down with Amy to have a discussion about hiring your team and building a strong culture for your startup. She certainly has some new insights to share as the company tripled in size during COVID, bringing plenty of growing pains with it.
