Artisan CEO Jaspar Carmichael-Jack shares hard-won lessons from building his AI startup's team, having hired over 100 people to arrive at a current team of 40. Key hiring mistakes covered include overhiring too early, prioritizing big-name résumé logos over startup-ready candidates, hiring at the wrong seniority level, and being too slow to let underperformers go. The core takeaway: hiring is a strategic function, not just operational, and the wrong hires compound negatively just as fast as the right ones compound positively.
