1. People Analytics in
startups - an
impossible task?

2. 2015 2019 2020 2021

3. Is it worth it?
Don’t even bother
doing stats with a
sample size less
than 500!!
We know everyone
personally in the
business- we don’t
need analyses!
We cannot afford to
spend money on
anything with an
unclear ROI!

4. Yes!
There are methods
to deal with any size
of sample
Knowing everyone is
an advantage not a
deterrent.
Can you afford a bad
hire? What about a
bad manager?
The quicker you
start, the easier it
becomes later-
competitive
advantage
