Many Paths to Success

January 15, 2021

Wes Winham joins us to share his journey to building Woven, a powerful hiring assessment product. He explains how his own painful hiring experience led to the creation of Woven and describes his team’s experience as they grew the product and company.

Wes reflects on lessons learned and the discipline it took to stick to a no-code approach to building the product. His non-traditional approach to growing a startup, hiring, and working with investors give Wes a unique perspective to share.
