11: Finding good software engineers (with Lauren Peate)

THE GUEST Lauren Peate is the founder & CEO of Multitudes, a startup born out of New Zealand that helps organizations provide engineering effectiveness metrics (minus the creepiness). Multitudes shows engineering teams what conversations they need to have to deliver well without burning people out. After studying at Stanford, Lauren has spent her career trying out consulting and venture but has constantly been drawn back to building her own businesses, and Multitudes is startup #3! Outside of continually building her own business, Lauren spends a lot of time giving back to the startup community and building up the ecosystem in New Zealand. Lauren is an absolute expert at understanding what makes great engineering teams work. THE QUESTIONS [10:15] How are Engineering and Product Management usually organized?
