Who We Work With
Founder-led teams building software, data, and AI products. We partner with startups and scaling companies that value precision, pace, and judgment in hiring.
Our clients typically include:
-
Early-stage startups (Seed → Series B) building their first engineering, product, or go-to-market leadership team.
-
Scaling tech companies establishing structure — adding heads of function (Engineering, Product, Data, Design, Finance, Operations).
-
Founders and investors who want a hands-on search partner, not a transactional agency.
-
Frontier-tech builders in areas like AI, fintech, devtools, healthtech, and climate technology.
Every engagement is bespoke: a focused, founder-aligned search for people who can operate at pace, raise the bar, and grow with the business.
Our Approach
We partner directly with founders to run a focused, hands-on search process for engineering and product talent.
Precision Search
Embedded With You
Quality Over Pipelines
We identify and engage candidates who match your technical bar, culture, and stage — no mass outreach, no noise.
We work as an extension of your founding team — aligning on hiring needs, pace, and build goals, not volume metrics.
You receive a curated shortlist, not a stack of unqualified profiles. Every candidate is screened for impact, fit, and ambition.
Our approach is built for startup speed. Every search runs with founder-level involvement, real-time transparency, and a relentless focus on quality of hire.

Depth over volume — curated introductions, not lists
