About Open Sourcing
Founder-led hiring support.
We are an independent talent partner for technology startups. We help founders and investors work out who they need, find them and make a considered hiring decision.
Why we exist
Before an in-house talent lead makes sense.
Growing teams can need experienced hiring support before a permanent talent lead makes sense. We join as an embedded partner or run a search for a specific role.
