How a search should work.

Composition

Before we look at a single candidate, we work with you to define what this company, at this stage, actually needs, not the union of every board member's wish list. A Series B infrastructure company needs a different CTO than a pre-IPO one. We've lived both, and we'll tell you which one you're hiring for, even when it's not the answer you walked in with.

You get a real scorecard: the three things this hire must do in eighteen months, the experience that predicts them, and the impressive-sounding backgrounds that don't.

Story

Then we build the pitch. Why this company, why this moment, why them: a narrative specific enough that the right candidate feels seen and the wrong one self-selects out. We spent our careers making people believe in something before the numbers made it obvious. That's what first contact with a great executive requires, and it's why our outreach gets answered.

Partners make the calls. Every one.

Close

The best candidates have the most reasons to say no: a retention grant, a comfortable role, a family that likes where they live. Closing isn't a final-week activity. It starts in the first conversation and runs through references, compensation, and the resignation they're dreading. We've closed deals for a living. We don't lose candidates in the last mile.
