AI made sourcing faster. It didn't make selection easier. The difference between a good hire and the right one still comes down to judgment — and judgment is the whole job. That's the work we're obsessed with.
The hire that gets a company from Seed to Series B is rarely the hire that gets it from Series B to IPO. Stage-appropriate leadership is a discipline, not an instinct — and it's the one we've built the firm around. We align founders and boards on the job to be done before the first outreach.
We cap active searches on purpose. Fewer engagements means every one gets partner attention, real calibration up front, and the candidate-care bar that keeps founders coming back. Doing fewer searches better is the whole model.
Who we work with
We're vertical-agnostic. Our clients are the founders, CEOs, and boards building the companies that define their categories — from early-stage AI natives to growth-stage and pre-IPO scale-ups. Almost every engagement starts the same way: a referral from a founder we've hired a leader for, or a note from one of the long-standing venture partners we've worked alongside for years.
