Building a dynamic sales team in 2 weeks for a Fintech startup

Verto (series A, YC W19), have been working with Jumpstart for a while and so far, have hired a total of 13 Jumpstarters! It’s great to see the Jumpstarters excelling in their roles and contributing to Verto’s growth.

When Verto came to us in need of more top talent for their sales team, we were able to help build out their sales team in just 2 weeks.

Verto is a fintech (finance-tech) startup, on a mission to simplify cross-border B2B payments in emerging markets, especially in Africa. Their ideal candidates are people who are driven, ambitious, and are comfortable with ambiguity and challenging the status quo.

The process looked like this:

• Verto pitched their roles to the Jumpstart sales cohort in 15 minutes. All the logistics were sorted by the Jumpstart team.

• 5 candidates were sent to interview the next day.

• 3 offers were made and all of them were accepted.

The entire process took 2 weeks!
