S5 | Episode 5 | Peter Ridlington of Ningi: Early Stage Hiring: When To Look Beyond Your Network

Published: Nov. 22, 2022, midnight

Ningi is the single, integrated tech platform that helps financial advisers work more efficiently and provide a more engaging experience to their clients by bringing everything into a single low cost tech platform.

Founder & CEO Peter Ridlington joined Chris and dived into the challenges they've faced as an early-stage, remote first start-up.

Peters talks through how to know if and when it's the right time to start looking beyond your network of connections when it comes to early stage hires, discussing the pros and limitations of this approach and what you need to look out for in those key first stage hires when it comes to shaping culture. 

He also talks through how they found and hired their first CTO  and how they knew it was the right time to bring them onboard. 

Peter then discusses their unique funding journey: going from investment, to then changing their business plan in order to bootstrap... to then fundraise again!
