5x headcount growth in 12 months
Scaling a Fintech Series B Team from 20 to 100
The Challenge
Following a successful Series B raise, this London-based fintech needed to scale rapidly without losing the entrepreneurial culture that made it successful. Existing HR processes were informal and founder-led, creating bottlenecks at every stage of the employee lifecycle.
The Strategy
- Designed a scalable people infrastructure covering onboarding, performance, and progression frameworks.
- Implemented a values-led hiring methodology to preserve cultural integrity during rapid growth.
- Introduced quarterly engagement pulse surveys to monitor team sentiment in real time.
- Built a leadership development programme for newly promoted managers.
The Outcome

Reduction in Early Attrition
"Thirty gave us the strategic backbone we needed. They felt like part of our leadership team from day one."
