VC Platform Partners

For VCs

Confidential leadership and senior technical search for portfolio companies.

Our Approach

We are typically engaged at inflection points — executive succession, founding team expansion, or senior technical mandates where discretion and precision are essential.

Our work is retained-led and structured from intake through close. Founders receive calibrated shortlists, clear market feedback, and disciplined execution without noise.

Executive Mandates

  • CTO
  • VP Engineering
  • Head of Research
  • Director of AI

Senior Technical Mandates

  • Staff / Principal Engineers
  • Protocol / Rust
  • Security / Cryptography
  • Quantitative Engineering

Referral Process

01 // Introduction

Platform connects us directly with the founder or operating partner.

02 // Mandate Definition

Calibration to align on scope, success criteria, compensation parameters, and confidentiality requirements.

03 // Delivery

Search strategy initiated immediately. First shortlist delivered on an agreed timeline. Weekly reporting until completion.

Governance

  • We do not recruit from active clients.
  • Restricted lists are agreed in advance.
  • Confidential searches are conducted under controlled disclosure.
  • No parallel speculative outreach within the same portfolio.
