Beanstalk Farms has a dire need for high quality production to drive the next major growth cycle as it approaches Q2. In order to match the high standard of the protocol, Beanstalk Farms is motivated to attract the best talent with industry premium wages. Beanstalk Farms is more inclined to hire a few key extremely proficient contributors at a premium price than 7 or 8 contributors at a standard price. Beanstalk Farms believes this hiring philosophy will lead to lean development teams that are highly efficient, fast-paced and much more productive than a standard larger team. This type of wage distribution should allow Beanstalk Farms to maintain a lean budget while properly compensating its premium contributors for their work. Beanstalk Farms will make efforts to stay lean until the next major growth cycle.
