VC hires fail when funds chase generalists. We recruit early-stage investors with real depth — either a sector they know cold or an operator pedigree founders actually want in their cap table. From Analysts to Investment Managers, pre-seed through Series B.
VC is the hardest asset class to break into and the easiest to wash out of. We work with funds where the bar is real and the carry actually pays. If you have sector depth or operator credibility, we'd like to talk.
Founders pick investors based on whoever can help them win. Generic ex-banking analysts don't move the needle anymore. The bar at the funds we work with is brutal — and it should be.
For VC mandates we source operators first, finance profiles second. We talk to senior PMs, founding engineers, growth leads at portfolio companies — the people who know what good early-stage investing looks like from the receiving end. Then we layer in the bankers and consultants who can pass the operator sniff test.
Typical timeline: 6–9 weeks from intake to signed offer. VC processes can move fast when the chemistry is right.
Send a one-line brief. We'll come back within 24 hours with three questions — and within a week with a longlist.
If you don't have sector depth or operator credibility yet, we'll tell you what to build before we put you in front of a fund.
A dedicated owner runs your search from first call to signed offer. No handoffs.
Some funds advertise carry that never vests. We know which ones treat their juniors like investors and which treat them like analysts.
VC processes are infamous for going dark. Not on our watch.
30 minutes. You walk us through the seat, the team, the comp band, and what "good" looks like. We push back on anything that doesn't add up.
We hit the phones. No CV blasting. No LinkedIn InMail spam. We talk to passive candidates we already know and qualify them against your bar.
4–6 names. Each with a written rationale, comp expectations, and notice period. You decide who to meet.
We run the debrief, the comp negotiation, the notice conversation. We don't disappear after the offer is signed.
