Carpe Search Partners

Our approach to retained search is rooted in our many years in the Office of the CTO at Microsoft, running ReedShay, and in venture capital at SignalFire. Our focus is mission critical early-stage talent across consumer and enterprise (cofounders/founders, incubation/studio, pre-seed, seed/A, and occasional growth). We are specialists operating a high-touch, low-volume firm. In our experience, it's never just about the search. You need a partner who also understands how multiple stakeholders size up talent and influence outcomes...one you can trust deeply to guide you along the way.
