We Deliver Talent That Drives Innovation
Moonshots to
Market Leaders
We're committed to helping companies recruit teams that are building a better future.
Our founders built elite technical teams at pioneering companies like Google X, Roblox, and Cloudera—where excellence wasn’t optional, it was demanded by the best.
Today, we partner with quantum innovators, aerospace giants, and biotech leaders to deliver next-gen technical talent that accelerates innovation and positions our clients for strategic growth.
Our Focus:
Technology That Transforms.
Our Team Values
Transaction-based recruiting is dead. We build lasting partnerships by truly understanding your technical vision and challenges. From initial search through long-term growth, we're invested in your success because we measure our success through yours.
We don't just understand technology - we've built technical organizations from the inside. Having worked alongside world-class engineers and technical leaders, we know what exceptional looks like because we've lived it. This isn't recruiting - it's technical partnership built on real experience.
Traditional search moves too slowly for deep tech. We've engineered a better way, combining custom AI tools with deep technical expertise to cut search times in half. But speed without precision is just rushing - we accelerate while raising the bar on quality.
Innovation isn't just what we look for - it's how we work. We've built our own AI systems, RAGs, and benchmarking tools because traditional recruiting technology wasn't good enough. When existing solutions don't cut it, we build better ones.
Our values are built from decades of experience in recruiting and deep technology. We believe in moving fast with precision, speaking technical truth, and building lasting partnerships. Innovation isn't just what we seek—it's how we work.
From custom AI tools to agentic benchmarks, we're constantly innovating how we identify and evaluate exceptional talent. This isn't about using technology—it's about engineering better solutions for technical search.
