PERPETUATE 🎯 ❇️The TL;DR version: We only work with specific Companies/Founders to win *un-winnable*, inaccessible, high pedigree Talent. Typically, that Talent has Silicon Valley/Bay Area or adjacent Pedigree. Except, now they live in Australia. We avoid Active Job Seekers. 🔘 The EXPANDED Version: 🟩 We attract world-class individual-contributor level engineering, engineering management AND management (of) engineering management TALENT. We do the same for Product, DevOps & Automation QA talent, too. 🟩 Hire (above) talent FOR genuine Silicon Valley GrowthTech companies; typically, unicorns of $10B+ USD market cap. 🟩 Hire (above) talent FOR carefully curated Australian Start/Scaleups - with structural duplication & alignment to - Silicon-Valley 'philosophy'. MUST be engineering-native, not only 'tech native' // (usually) product-native AND in high, or hyper-growth phase. We also prefer founder-led. 🟩 We bias towards deep, cutting-edge & complex tech – ideally with purposeful, positive societal mission orientation. 🟩 We CONNECT high calibre entrepreneurs to investors & peripheral services - within the AU x US ecosystems - who should know each other, but don’t. We believe in RECIPROCITY and intentional serendipity. So, we facilitate these intros mostly - for free. 🟩 We do an unparalleled volume of pre-diligence before partnering any represented individual, or company. 🟩 Bet on early high-conviction angel investments 🟩 Semi-regular Portfolio Events 🟩 We LOVE first-principle-thinking, and study patterns. And Signals. We ignore noise/hype. 🟩 'A’s hire A’s // B’s hire C’s’ 🔘 Things We DON'T Do: 🟥 We don’t advertise, and we don’t interview – not by the ‘traditional’ definition. In-demand, world-class engineering talent - are an aversion to the mean. Traditional interviewing formats net sub-optimal outcomes.
