Co-Founder, Investor, tech recruiter, former college athlete, and most importantly wannabe foodie.
In the arena finding top engineers for VC backed startups.
Today, we successfully placed a Staff Machine Learning Engineer at a Series A company that is fundamentally transforming the way people perceive, utilize, and comprehend video content.
That's the good news.
The challenging, or perhaps frustrating, aspect...
What we did have was unwavering commitment from the client and a continuous refinement of how to pitch, position, and define world-class talent for them.
This is contingency-based recruiting—it's not always pretty.
That moment you can feel the momentum.
That moment you can see the success.
THAT hits like nothing else!
These are the moments we live for.
These are the moments that keep us coming back over and over again.
When you start a venture, you can’t know all the issues that you’re going to run into; just not possible.
That’s why prioritizing forward momentum, iteration, and learning is the best way to go.
Builders build. Period. While everyone else is stuck waiting for the “right moment” or obsessing over every little detail, builders dive in and get things done.
Really, that’s the startup way of life.
This is one of the biggest reasons I LOVE working with VC partners and engineers (we’ve worked with hundreds at this point).
They know that momentum creates opportunity.
The ones who thrive are the ones who outwork everyone else when no one’s watching.
Even more, it’s the ones who love what they’re doing. That’s how you win on the field, in business, and in life.
Playing college baseball taught me one thing—success is earned, not given. Every day, I had to show up, put in the work, and push beyond my limits.
Those are the days that compound.
Business is exactly the same:
Said another way: Winning isn’t about talent or reps, it’s about discipline, resilience, and executing when it counts.
Just like on the field, you can’t control every outcome, but you can control your preparation and effort.
