Why it matters

Get the first hire right.

The first VP-level hire into a VC-backed business sets the standard for everything that follows. We take the time to understand your portfolio company's culture, stage and ambition, so the person we place can build, lead and scale.

Move at the speed of growth.

Post-funding momentum is everything. We work at pace to ensure your portfolio companies aren't losing ground while searching for the right person, delivering qualified, engaged candidates without cutting corners.

Experience at every stage.
