Startups move fast. They secure funding, build products, and chase growth — often without a solid people strategy in place. All too often, HR is treated as an afterthought, brought in only after Series B (or later) when issues and problems like turnover, misaligned teams, and hiring mistakes start costing real money.
But the truth is, HR isn't just a back-office function— it's a growth accelerator.
At Ethos HR Labs, we saw too many overwhelmed CEOs COOs, and CFOs struggling to hire the right people, retain top talent, and create a thriving culture— all while trying to scale. That's where we come in.
We bring strategic, high impact leadership at the right time — without the overhead of a full time HR executive.
