How We Work

Three ways to work with us

Every startup hires differently. Pick the model that fits your stage, budget, and urgency.

Search

We run a dedicated search for your role: sourcing, screening, and shortlisting candidates from our deep tech network. You get pre-vetted introductions, interview coordination, and support all the way through the offer. Pay when you hire.

Connect

Your open roles become part of our active portfolio. When we meet relevant candidates through our network, we introduce them to you. You handle the interviews and closing, and we handle the matchmaking.

Partner

We work exclusively on your roles with dedicated focus. Regular strategy sessions, deep market insights, and priority access to candidates. You get one partner, not five vendors.
