We've helped build teams at Perplexity, Character AI, Rippling, Coinbase, Glean, Docker, Affirm, PayPal, Robinhood, and dozens more. Our promise is simple: we only bring you the conversations worth having. Every candidate we send has been vetted, screened, and contextualized for your specific needs. If we're not confident it's worth your time, we don't hit send. The results: • 4 out of 5 candidates we submit get invited to interview • 77% average offer to close rate • 1000+ startup hires over 8 years Trusted recruiting partner for a16z, Mayfield, Wing, Index Ventures, Lightspeed, NEA, and more. We don't work with everyone. If you're looking for cheap, we're not it. If you want fast over good, we're not it. But if you want a recruiting partner who becomes an extension of your team and won't stop until they find the right person, let's talk.
