You can build a great team in many ways, but the most successful teams often bring together diverse skill sets to design unique and impactful solutions. Consider building your team to include:

• Builders – The tech lead of your team with coding background and technical know-how to take your solution from idea to working reality.
• Designers – The UX expert to ensure that solution is user-friendly and visually appealing. Designers bring creative vision to technical problem solving, making what you build sleek and easy to consume.
• Communicators – Good communicators make complex ideas simple and inspiring. Your team’s calculating hustler is essential in articulating the problem and succinctly defining how the solution can make a difference in a profound, unique, consumable way.
• Humanitarians – Altruistic thinkers who understand the complex problems at hand in a truly human way and are committed to finding a solution to make a demonstrable difference.
