Why the Right Captain Matters More Than the Ship
In the high-stakes world of scaling startups, a leadership hire is not just a placement; it is "Strategic Leadership Architecture" that defines your trajectory. A mismatch at the executive level creates organizational debt that can cripple growth, whereas the right leader catalyzes the shift from founder-led chaos to scalable structure. We focus on finding leaders who don't just fit the job description, but fit the specific "chaos" and stage of your company's journey.
The Experience: A True Growth Partnership
We step out of the vendor role and act as a "Fractional Head of Talent," handling your executive search with the discretion and depth of a cofounder. This means we don't just forward resumes; we act as a neutral mediator during delicate negotiations, bridging the gap between candidate expectations and startup reality. Our "Cofounder" ethos ensures we operate with fiscal empathy, treating your equity and budget as if they were our own.
The Process: Business-Mission-Match (BMM)
We move beyond generic interviews by utilizing the "BMM Framework" to assess Business fit, Mission alignment, and Match with the founder's psychology. We deploy "Blind Profiling" to gauge interest without compromising confidentiality and conduct discreet "Back-Channel Referencing" to verify reputation before an offer is ever made. This rigorous vetting ensures we are selling the mission and vision to the right people, not just the perks.
Closing the Deal: Equity & Strategy
Executive hiring often hinges on complex compensation packages rather than just base salary. We provide "ESOP Advisory" to help you structure competitive vesting schedules and equity pools that attract top-tier talent. By managing the nuances of the offer, we ensure the "psychological contract" is strong from day one, securing long-term retention over short-term "closes".
The Investment: Disuptive 15% Pricing
While global executive search firms typically charge 25–33% of the first year's compensation, we offer this strategic service at a disruptive 15% fee. This "Blue Ocean" pricing allows high-growth startups to access world-class executive search capabilities without the prohibitive six-figure retainers of legacy firms. We believe in democratizing excellence, making elite leadership hiring accessible to the companies that need it most.
