What they could contribute

Rewrote the attention kernels in a widely used open-source inference engine. Could own serving latency from the first week.

Why it could make sense

You need someone to own inference performance. They want production scale and a small team. Strengths and ambitions point the same way.

Beyond the résumé

Understand what someone could contribute, and why it could make sense.

Through thoughtful technical assessment and carefully chosen introductions, we help you see the person behind the profile.

01

Thoughtful technical assessment

We look closely at real work and talk with people in depth, so you hear about substance, not only credentials.

We look at
Papers, code, projects and competition results, and the reasoning behind them.
We talk about
Problems they have solved, how they think, and what they want to do next.
You receive
A clear account of their strengths, with evidence you can check.
02

Carefully chosen introductions

A few introductions that fit, rather than a stack of résumés to sort through.

What they could contribute
The specific ways this person could move your work forward.
Why it could make sense
How their strengths and ambitions line up with what you are building.
What happens next
A direct conversation, with context on both sides.
Where we help

From a critical engineering need to an early founding team.

We help bring complementary people together around meaningful problems.

A critical engineering need

The hire that unblocks the roadmap: someone who can own a hard system from the first week.

Engineering

A new research direction

Researchers who can open up a direction your team has not explored yet, and see it through.

Research

An early founding team

Complementary co-founders and first collaborators for something that does not exist yet.

Founding
Who we work with

Startups, AI companies, and research teams.

Startups

From the first founding team to the hires that matter most.

Frontier and applied, building the models and the systems around them.

Research teams

In academia and industry, pursuing open questions.
