[Eagle University Takeaways] Hire Smart: Strategy Over Familiarity One of the most common mistakes startups make is hiring based on familiarity rather than strategy. It’s easy to bring in someone you know, but the key to building a successful team is starting with your company’s strategy. Identify the specific skills your startup needs to achieve its goals, then find the right person to fill that role. This approach not only strengthens your team but also aligns every hire with your mission and long-term success. Don’t let comfort dictate your hiring—let strategy guide you. Gain valuable takeaways from Eagle University. Follow for more expert advice from our Eagle general partners. #EagleUniversityTakeaways Wade Myers

Honored to join Tim Tebow and Tommy Martin at the Tim Tebow Foundation, collaborating on Solving the World's Greatest Problems. Together with Faith Driven Investors, we’re addressing critical global challenges like human trafficking and child exploitation. By aligning purpose with investment, we’re empowering entrepreneurs and investors to create meaningful impact and position enterprises to make a lasting difference. Looking forward to sharing more about this inspiring work in the coming months.
Co-Founder of Faith Driven Entrepreneur, Investor, Students | Previously EVP of RightNow Media.
“Many Christians are going to get to Heaven and going to be well rested and I don’t want that to be me.” Gift to be with Tim Tebow, Tommy Martin and friends at the Tim Tebow Foundation filming some new content for Solving the World's Greatest Problems and ways that they’re working with Eagle Venture Fund with Wes Lyons to do some incredible work and partnering with Faith Driven Investors on the Journey. Solving the World's Greatest Problems is an audacious proposal. It seems prideful to even suggest the possibility of solving problems like human trafficking, child exploitation. But as followers of Christ, shouldn’t our outlook be different? For centuries, God has called his people to push back the darkness with his light. This has led us to cure diseases, build hospitals, fight injustice, and care for the brokenhearted. Loving people is our legacy. But our quest is not yet complete. Faithful entrepreneurs, investors, and ministry leaders just like you are battling evil to bring heaven to earth each and every day. They are fighting for the glory of God and the flourishing of humanity. Under his power. And for his glory. They are pushing against the notion that we are comfortably cruising along in this world with only ourselves to worry about. Entrepreneurs and Investors solve problems. They see opportunities for innovation and advancement before many of us even realize there's a need. Together, we can position enterprises to stand in the gaps of brokenness. Make investments for both financial return and compounding impact. Deploy philanthropic capital to accelerate ministries that focus on the ills humanity suffers. Solving the world’s greatest problems takes all of us—together. God has entrusted us with much. And in return, much is asked of us. Looking forward to sharing this content in the coming months.
