Michael Tanguma and Andy Thompson rejoin the show to give an update on the state of finding and hiring talent in the bitcoin space as well as the launch of their new FLEX product. FLEX enables companies to tap into a global workforce of individuals looking for contract jobs at varying levels of competency. Anything from a part-time front-end developer to a part-time CFO. Beyond an update on Bitcoin Talent Co, the discussion meanders into a broader conversation about how companies should think about growing their teams and businesses while keeping burn rate and opex in mind.
