LaunchVic Sharpens its Focus on First Hires, Helping Founders Build Strong Teams from the Outset.
LaunchVic today unveiled the latest cohort for its Basecamp program, a six-week initiative designed to support founders at a critical growth stage, when early hiring and leadership decisions can make or break a startup.
