How We Partner
I need to make a key hire.
Our team of experienced executive recruiters (who’ve scaled companies like Uber and Doordash) help make critical hires in your C-Suite. Whether it’s sitting alongside founders to scope the role, running our own dedicated sourcing sprints, partnering with a trusted search firm, or hopping on interviews with candidates ourselves—we’ll do whatever it takes to find that perfect fit.
I need to get in the room with the right buyers.
Our team of experienced sales leaders from companies like Databricks, Medalia and Snapdocs focus on building deep relationships with key buyers like CISOs, Senior Engineering Leaders and Global Innovation Heads. Their packed Rolodexes generate meaningful deals in the Fortune 500—the kind of inflection points that bend the revenue curve.
I need help leading high performance teams.
We partnered with the team who developed the management training at Facebook to create Founders + Leaders, our proprietary leadership development program for founders and their management teams. Because often the hardest part about scaling a startup isn’t building the product, it’s building (and leading) an organization.
I need help telling my story clearly.
Every founder has a story. The hard part is telling it in a way that actually lands - with customers, future hires, investors, and the press. We help you get clear on what you’re building, why it matters, and who needs to hear it. Then we help amplify that message out across the channels that move the needle: press, founder brand, product marketing, social, and content.We’re not chasing headlines. We’re building a storytelling flywheel—one that starts with sharp positioning and builds momentum over time.
I need to accelerate engineering velocity.
Building great products fast requires more than just talented engineers—it demands the right architecture, processes, and technical strategy. As a former venture-backed founder and CTO, Rares Crisan works directly with engineering teams to identify and solve the technical bottlenecks that slow down velocity—from code reviews and system architecture assessments to helping recruit senior technical talent.
I need to see around corners.
Startups don't have to be a lonely pursuit. That's why we foster an inclusive network where you and your leadership team can meet and learn from other startup founders, industry leaders, and experts who've been there.
