Our Story

It all began in 2016 with a very clear vision…

To be the world’s leading strategic growth talent partner for Tier 1 VCs. Simply being another recruitment partner who delivered results wasn’t enough to make an impact!

By immersing ourselves fully in the journeys of several early-stage start-ups, we assisted them all the way to IPO or acquisition by building world-class GTM and technical functions. 

We did this over and over, and dare we say it, became famous for being very good at it. As the demand for our recruitment solutions grew, so did our own scale-up journey.

We are now the preferred GTM team builders for many of Silicon Valley’s largest funds, in addition to several emerging Tier 2/3 funds in EMEA and APAC.

Our Approach

We go far beyond taking a brief…

By fully immersing ourselves in your business, we establish a clear picture of the talent you need to deliver their growth objectives.

We follow up by conducting a talent market map in the key regions available to you, so you have a deep understanding of the talent you can attract to your business.

This is then we really show our value, as we go to market to strategically position your proposition and investment, generating positive noise and interest throughout hard-to-find talent communities.

Our formula for success

Matching ground-breaking minds

We only connect our clients with candidates that have the right Sales DNA and/or Technical fit to ensure that their ground-breaking tech innovations are created and delivered by similar ground-breaking minds.

To ensure every candidate has a world-class experience, and mitigate the risk of a bad hire, we run the candidate process from start to finish, making it more efficient and repeatable going forward for all involved.

This results in us creating long lasting partnerships with our clients and VC’s, where we are trusted to deliver on all hire and ensure that investment is protected from a hiring standpoint.

Why we are your perfect talent partner

Partners to venture capitalists

Having partnered with VC’s, we understand the importance of making key hires early in the lifespan of the startup’s journey.

Our proven track record of building talented communities within the US, APAC and European markets, allows us to be able to reach the best candidates within certain software verticals.
