SOUND FAMILIAR?
Does this sound like your startup?
You're scaling fast — and HR is the wheel nobody is holding.
01
You're the de facto HR person
Being the default HR person is eating your week — and pulling you off the work only you can do.
02
Hiring fast, no real process
You're hiring quickly without a structured pipeline, and one bad hire could set the company back six months.
03
Compliance is an afterthought
Equity, comp, offer letters, and multi-state rules are happening on instinct — and you know that's a problem.
04
Comp and equity are guesswork
Offers are improvised. Without bands and an equity framework, you overpay some hires and lose others.
05
Culture is forming by accident
No onboarding, no feedback rhythm, no manager training — so the culture you wanted drifts as you grow.
06
Investors are asking about people ops
Diligence touches HR compliance and org design. Gaps here slow your raise and spook your board.
HOW WE HELP
Three things you get from day one.
We take it off your plate — without the cost of a full-time HR hire.
FOUNDATION
Build It Right the First Time
Handbook, policies, and a compensation framework done correctly — so you don't rip them out at 50 employees.
PARTNER
Hire Smart, Fast
A real recruiting pipeline, a structured interview process, and offer letters that hold up. Hiring becomes a system, not a scramble.
STRATEGIC
Stay Compliant As You Scale
Multi-state hiring, wage & hour, I-9, and equity questions handled, so legal exposure doesn't snowball.
