How do you help portfolio companies hire?

We know that talent is your most valuable asset; that’s why we take a community-oriented approach to venture capital. Our Core Community gives our portfolio companies a distinct, unique advantage when it comes to hiring.

Organized by domain, company stage, and job function, the Core Community is packed with leaders who can connect you to the strongest candidates for your key roles. And, while organic, self-facilitated talent flow does occur, we don’t leave your hiring process up to chance. We’ll partner with you on developing a key-hire roadmap and we’ll partner with the Core Community to make sure your job descriptions and talent vetting process are designed to deliver success. It’s our hope that you’ll also ask us to interview finalists, and help you close top talent.

There have also been several instances in which a Core Partner for a portfolio company later chose to join the company full-time. In turn, we’ve seen some founders use the Core Partner program as a way to attract, trial, and entice top executive talent over time to officially join their team.

In addition, we host a public portfolio company job board on our high-traffic website, send monthly Core Community Bulletin emails featuring your most critical open roles, and have a bench of vetted recruiters and HR specialists who are available to you.
