Founders Bench

For Series A–C founders and PE operating partners

Your next senior hire has never run this stage before.

Founders Bench places people who have already built the function you are about to build — embedded for 90 days, working the actual problem instead of interviewing for it.

Concept render — Founders Bench does not exist yet. Nothing on this page is a photograph.

You are not short on résumés

You are short on people who have carried a number through the exact transition you are in right now. Those people are not on job boards. They are running something.

Ninety days, then a decision

They build the function, hire their own replacement, or stay. You find out how someone works before you make it permanent, which is the part a four-round loop cannot tell you.

Priced against the mis-hire

A wrong VP at Series B costs a year and roughly a million dollars all-in. We price against that number, not against a percentage of base salary.

Fifteen minutes. Tell me the role you have been trying to fill and how long it has been open.
