We help founders hire exceptional engineers and researchers – from founding hires to early growth.
We work with AI and deep tech startups building at the frontier – foundation models, agentic systems, AI infrastructure, robotics, applied ML.
Hiring at this level cannot be a volume game. We bring precision, structure, and judgement to every search.
Our Axioms define the standard.
Our process ensures we hit it – consistently.
In a world shaped by AI, we stay human. Because taste, context, and pattern recognition built across hundreds of searches can't be automated.
We’ve spent years embedded in the AI and engineering ecosystem. Knowing the technology, the market, and the people building it allows us to cut through noise and move with precision.
We leverage AI tools trained on our own knowledge and experience — accelerating execution without outsourcing judgement.
Every shortlist is intentional. Typically 3-5 intros per role, with a 90%+ CV-to-interview ratio – reducing noise and interview fatigue.
Momentum matters. We execute with urgency because timing is critical for early-stage teams. Our average time-to-hire is ~25 days.
Clear, honest communication keeps processes moving. We surface issues early and share feedback openly so decisions are made with full context.
We get close to your mission, product, and hiring goals – but more importantly, we define the narrative we’ll take to market so the right people pay attention.
We don’t spray and pray. We tap into curated networks built over years and identify the engineers and researchers who genuinely match what you’re building.
If needed, we help you refine your hiring process for speed, fairness, and accuracy – avoiding the common pitfalls of early-stage scaling.
We don’t mass message. We reach out selectively — with context, research, and clear relevance. Passive talent doesn’t respond to generic outreach.
Once conversations start, we stay close. Candidates get clear communication and quick feedback, which keeps momentum high and avoids last-minute surprises or drop-offs.
We don’t disappear after a placement. We stay involved through offers, onboarding, and early retention, supporting you as you scale from first hires to Series A and beyond.
