We Build Teams that Go The Distance.
From pre-seed to pre-IPO, we plug into your team to deliver startup grade talent who actually thrive in ambiguity, move fast, and stick around.
No fluff.
No corporate CV’s.
No handoffs.
Why founders and hiring teams choose us:
Startup native operators. We’re not “recruiters.” We’ve built and scaled startups ourselves. We get your urgency, your standards, and your burn rate.
Curated over crowded. We don’t flood your inbox with unvetted CVs. We deliver 2-4 handpicked, startup aligned candidates per role and they stick.
Speed without sacrifice. Structured, time boxed hiring sprints get key roles filled in weeks, not quarters, with zero compromise on quality or fit.
Mission & mindset fit. We screen for adaptability, initiative, and founder DNA. Not just technical skills. These become the kind of hires who scale with you.
Transparent pricing. Flat, founder friendly fees or embedded models that flex with your stage. No 25% “black box” commissions.

Founder & Operator
Max Blake
Founder, recruiter, & startup operator who knows what it takes to build from zero. I've launched two companies from scratch & scaled hiring for some of the most ambitious early stage startups across the globe.
My background is in core technical hiring. I build game changing product, software & ai teams that can take you through mvp > pmf & all the way to global domination.
Whilst most of my career has been focused on founder led start-ups, i’ve spent considerable time working in the world of quantitative finance - helping scale some of the biggest firms from Chicago, London to singapore.
my fundamental belief is that recruitment, as it stands, is broken. i’m passionate about fixing this problem to enable founders to focus on what matters.
