Description
Kristen Ablamsky is the Co-Founder and Head of Product at Wethos,  the first freelance platform built specifically for nonprofits and socially conscious businesses.  She was tasked with running point on hiring the company's first two full time technical hires who would take over the initial site built by a freelancer.  It's a position a lot of non-technical founders find themselves in.  I interviewed Kristen and the two hires she made, Steven and Margaret, about how the process went, what worked, and what didn't, as well as why they joined this seed stage startup.
