Runtime is Strive's new sister brand, focused entirely on Product and Engineering. It's Strive's engine, applied to a new market. Same processes, same data, same standards, same investment in tooling and AI. But built specifically for technical hiring. We've spent years refining how Strive operates, and Runtime gets all of that from day one. It's not a startup learning  the ropes. It's a launch with proper foundations underneath it. Different brand, different focus, different community. But the operational backbone is shared. So clients get the credibility and reliability of an established business, with a brand that's purpose-built for engineering.

Most first Sales Hires are judged before they've had a chance to work A new Rep misses target in Month three, and the doubt creeps in. By Month five, the company is quietly interviewing again. The problem is rarely the Rep. It's the clock. Complex B2B sales cycles often run longer than the ramp a founder has the patience for: • Month one is learning the product, not selling it • Months two to four are building pipeline that hasn't closed yet • The first real deals tend to land around month six • A fair read on performance needs a full cycle, then some Cutting a Rep at Month four judges them on someone else's pipeline and half a ramp. A slow start isn't always a bad hire. Sometimes it's just the sales cycle. How long should a first Rep really get before the verdict? #scalewithstrive

The "they know everyone" hire almost never works Founders love a sales candidate with a packed contact list. It feels like a shortcut to pipeline. The relationships rarely transfer the way anyone expects. A network opens a door. It doesn't close a deal for a different company, with a different product, at a different price. The reps who actually deliver bring something more durable: • A repeatable way to find new buyers, not just old ones • The discipline to qualify hard, even on a warm intro • The credibility to sell a product on its merits • The patience to build pipeline that outlasts their address book A borrowed network runs dry in a quarter or two. A real sales engine keeps producing long after the favours are gone. Contacts get the first meeting. Skill earns the second. How much should a candidate's network really count for? #scalewithstrive
