Is this a sales call?

No. There is no deck, no pitch, and no follow-up sequence. We talk through your problem. If we can help, we will say so. If we cannot, we will tell you who can.

How long is the call?

30 minutes. We respect your calendar. If we need more time, we book a second call — never a longer one without your say-so.

Who will I be speaking with?

Calvin Sedao — CEO and Co-Founder of Awana. He has personally helped scale 130+ teams across LatAm. Not an SDR. Not a junior.

The promise

What this call is and isn't.

What this isn't

A 30-slide deck about Awana

A qualifying interview from an SDR

A 5-email follow-up sequence

What it actually is

30 min with Calvin — the founder, not a rep

Honest numbers — salaries, timelines, what won't work

Next steps — even if they don't involve us

Bring any of these

What founders
actually ask about.

01 · Hiring strategy

"How do I hire a senior engineer without burning $200k?"

Where to look, what to pay, direct-hire vs. contractor.

02 · Team scaling

"My team of 3 needs to be 15 by next quarter."

Org structure, manager ratios, what breaks first.

03 · AI & product

"Hire AI engineers, or use AI to ship faster?"

When to hire AI talent vs. deploy AI tools.

04 · LatAm-specific

"How does employment law work in Mexico / Brazil?"

Contractors, equity, payroll, cultural nuance.

Who's on the other side

Not a marketing team.
Not an SDR. Just me.

I built Awana after watching brilliant founders waste 6 months on the wrong hire. 130+ teams later, this is what I help with.

Correct. No deck, no pitch, no follow-up sequence. If we can't help, I'll point you to someone who can.
