What makes this sector hard

  • Thesis fit

    Seed sector, growth thesis and geography must match. Thesis alignment captured at intake.

  • Track record signal

    Investment memos led, deals championed, board seats held — captured from the CV.

  • Platform vs investing

    Platform, ops and investment roles are scored separately.

  • Attribution ambiguity

    Junior investors often list deals they merely supported. Rubrics distinguish sourcing, diligence-leading and board-seat ownership.

The evidence we score against

Every candidate is scored against the role's rubric, and every score points back to a specific line in the CV. For venture capital, these are the signals that carry weight:

  • Thesis fit captured
  • Track-record signal from CV
  • Function-specific rubric

What your shortlist looks like

  1. A ranked set of candidates, each with a score and the evidence behind it.
  2. Eligibility checks resolved before the candidate reaches you — right to work, credentials, location model.
  3. Salary expectation against your band, stated plainly, before you invest interview time.
  4. One decision per candidate: advance, hold or decline, reversible for a short window.

Candidates stay invisible to you until we've reviewed them for your specific role, and contact details are released as a separate step.
