Charlie Crystle of The Lancaster Food Company: The Best Sliced Bread Since Sliced Bread and the People Behind It

Update: 2017-10-02

Description

The Lancaster Food Company bakes bread to hire people--and much of its staff companies from impoverished or incarcerated backgrounds. It's not an easy task to recruit and manage a talent pool whose lives are so dramatically different from your typical software startup, but while Charlie Crystle is in it to win it ("There's no mission without margin.") it's clearly a labor of a lot of blood, sweat, tears and love. The story of Lancaster should serve as a model for tech startups--that they should take no amount of stability in an employee's life for granted and that it creates a lot of loyalty to meet your talent where it is.
